After a successful 10-month run as the first BDR, I was promoted to the Account Executive role to lead the European market development. I've learnt the value of the consultative selling approach that brings various teams on both sides to deliver project objectives. Going by the "land-and-expand" strategy, building the reputation was everything in this position. 2 years later I contributed to more than 15 deals closed won, including with Top3 Medical Device companies.

Press Secretary

Founder @ evoc | GTM lead @ stageset

Hey, welcome to my profile!

I was bit by a startup bug 7 years ago, so I can't stop working for/on 'em :)

BTW I’m Yernar, a guy who was supposed to go and be a professor of political science or whatever. Instead, I'm building go-to-market engines, closing deals, and helping great tech products grow. 

Over the last 8+ years, I’ve worked across Europe, US, and Asia with SaaS, healthtech, and services companies to help them land (and expand!) enterprise clients, scale bizdev teams, and break into new markets.

I’ve closed 5- / 6-figure deals, led bizdev teams, and built outbound engines from scratch. Whether I’m talking a founder, revops team, or enterprise buyer, I always focus on long-term partnerships. That's the most important thing.

If you've made it this far, be sure to connect. I'm an open networker and I love to help, so don't hesitate please!
