I lead GTM operations and strategy—building regional playbooks from zero to scale revenue repeatably.
What I'm looking for
I’m a GTM operations and strategy leader with 8+ years building go-to-market functions from scratch across APAC and Europe. I’ve launched two regional operations end-to-end—hiring teams, designing processes, setting targets, and scaling revenue.
Most recently, I built an APAC operation from zero at IDR (Expert Network & Market Research) in 4 months, hiring and training 15 people and targeting 31 by mid-2026. I design end-to-end operational processes—from onboarding workflows and quality frameworks to performance tracking and escalation paths—and I drive improvements like reducing turnaround time by 20% by redesigning handoff workflows.
Previously at Dialectica, I scaled an APAC office from 20 to 90 people and grew regional revenue from $1M to $2.5M in 18 months by building repeatable GTM and delivery infrastructure. I also led performance systems with KPI design and Tableau dashboards, managed team managers, and owned strategic accounts—driving retention and expansion with a focus on making growth repeatable when the playbook doesn’t exist yet.
