I’m looking for a remote role where I can lead from the front — building scalable sales systems, coaching reps, and helping a growth-stage company turn GTM chaos into clarity. I’m most energized in environments where autonomy, ownership, and constant iteration are valued, and where I can make a measurable impact across both revenue and team performance.
Andrew Drasen
@andrewdrasen
Sales leader blending GTM strategy, automation, and high-impact team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic sales leader with 7+ years of success in high-performance sales environments across solar, automotive, and home entertainment. As the founder of a full-cycle solar org and a self-taught automation developer, I specialize in optimizing outreach, CRM workflows, and rep performance.
At Emerald Advisory Co., I served as Head of Business Development, modernizing pitch decks, leading high-value BD calls, and designing a Python-based CRM automation framework that laid the foundation for a full-scale lead gen platform.
As founder of Solar Partners of America, I led a national sales team, increased monthly deal volume by 30%, and reduced SDR ramp-up time by 40% through optimized systems and training.
I’ve been recognized as a top-tier producer and a trusted mentor — and now, I’m looking to scale that leadership impact in a forward-thinking, growth-driven company.
