about me:

👨‍💻 I'm a sales rep turned startup founder. 

🇲🇽🗽🍑 I spent a year and a half remote working in Mexico. We built most of Lavender during this. I'm based in New York but we got our start in Atlanta. 

🎨 🏛 I've been designing software since I was a kid, but went to school to study Government and Economics. 

🌍 I'm passionate about entrepreneurship. I wrote my senior thesis on using micro-finance to encourage entrepreneurship and bottoms-up development of emerging economies.

🦊 I'm most proud of starting a series of campaigns to help save a historic women's college, Sweet Briar, from closing. 

👩‍🎓The school was saved by its alumnae, and this experience led me to leave my job and start my first startup: an alumni social chat and mobile fundraising app. 

🧠 Through that I was introduced to the cognitive sciences, met my co-founders, and pivoted. We built technology for marketers that leveraged personality and decision making science.

💜 COVID happened and we pivoted again, applying our communication psychology research to sales.

🙌 Now Lavender helps thousands of sales people around the world write better emails faster.

Strategic Advisor

William M. Ballance

Adam Jay

Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)

Most B2B companies stall because growth is duct-taped together instead of designed. I fix that.

I'm a GTM Operating Partner. Not a fractional, not a consultant, not someone who hands you a slide deck and disappears. I embed with teams, architect revenue systems, and stay until the engine runs without me.

To date, I've helped SaaS and services companies generate $265M+ in revenue by installing the right mix of strategy, process, and execution.

Through the GTM Gap™ Framework, I guide companies from: 

→ Stabilization (infrastructure that supports scale) 
→ Foundation (repeatable sales motions) 
→ Repeatability (predictable pipeline and process) 
→ Scalability (AI-powered efficiency)

What I bring: 

→ AI-driven GTM design and intelligent automation 
→ Sales playbooks, enablement, and positioning that scale 
→ Revenue team structure and leadership through growth stages 
→ Hands-on execution that bridges the gap between vision and results

The leaders I partner with, founders, CEOs, and PE/VC firms, describe my work as both strategic and tactical. Insightful enough to set direction, operational enough to create momentum immediately.

If you're building for scale and need an operator who owns outcomes (not just hours), let's connect.

GTM Ambassador 

Featured Thought Leader and Overall GTM Junkie. 

As an ambassador, I share frequent content that aligns with the overall GTM Operating System developed by GTM Partners. Additionally, I share my perspective based on the analyst data gathered by GTM partners. And as GTM Partners creates more content and hosts more Roadshows, there's a HIGH likelihood you'll see me there :)

🚨 We’re hiring for one of our clients and this is a great role for the hunter mentality!

Account Executive – Genesys Ecosystem

This is a high-impact sales role selling into the Genesys Cloud Contact Center space, and it’s built for someone who wants to move fast and win often.

If you thrive on ownership, energy, and execution; this is your lane.

✅ Full sales cycle ownership
✅ Direct selling into Genesys Cloud customers

This is not a role for passive sellers.

It’s for the builder, the prospector, the closer.

Someone who wants to grow inside a focused ecosystem with strong product-market fit.

If you’ve sold SaaS, know how to work a niche market, and love outbound motion; you’ll thrive here.

DM me or drop a comment and I’ll share the full details.

Let’s go!

Adam Jay 

Before you scale headcount, scale clarity.

Who you sell to. 
Why they buy. 
How deals actually close.

Everything else is noise!
