What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercial, partnership, product, or operations initiatives where I can build scalable GTM systems, grow enterprise revenue, and strengthen cross-functional execution.

I've generated $50M+ in new-business pipeline across SaaS, B2B, and compliance sectors, most recently leading product and partnerships strategy at Programmers Force for Shufti, AML Watcher, The KYB, and Facia.ai. I built over $20M in qualified pipeline within six months, accelerated sales cycles for MediaWatcher, and aligned product, marketing, and revenue teams around enterprise growth.

Across Daftarkhwan, Edraak Systems, S-Tech, and independent consulting, I've built operational playbooks, led sales teams, managed major client portfolios, and helped startups grow from $0 to $50K+ MRR. I bring the same storyteller mindset I apply as a philatelist and numismatist to building partnerships, preserving relationships, and creating repeatable growth.
