What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-focused role where I can scale teams or accounts, drive adoption, and build repeatable sales operations in a collaborative, metrics-driven environment.

I am an enterprise sales professional with deep experience growing accounts, building sales organizations, and aligning product capabilities to customer goals. I have a track record of exceeding quotas, closing enterprise deals, and reducing churn through strategic advisement and cross-functional partnership.

I build processes, playbooks, and sales operations from the ground up and coach teams to perform in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. Notable achievements include building an SDR organization, hitting 140% quota in a mid-market AE role, and contributing to a 72% reduction in churn through improved adoption and renewals.
