@andyaustin
I build revenue operations, GTM systems, and high-performing BDR teams for growth-stage B2B SaaS and AI companies.
What I'm looking for
I've built business development and revenue operations functions from the ground up for AI and B2B SaaS companies including TrueFoundry, Seldon, and Laiye. At TrueFoundry, I designed the GTM stack, Salesforce architecture, reporting, forecasting, and operating cadence for a Series A agentic AI platform.
I hire, coach, and scale sales development teams. I built a six-person BDR team at TrueFoundry, reduced BDR churn by 90% at Seldon, and led 15 BDRs and four Commercial Sales reps across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas at Laiye.
I connect systems, process, and people to create predictable pipeline. My work spans ICP and territory modelling, lead routing, sales engagement tooling, onboarding, performance management, pipeline reviews, and cross-functional GTM alignment.
I’ve delivered 230% of pipeline target and 105% of revenue target at Laiye, scaled a ClarifyB2B team from five to 21 FTEs in 16 months, and grew MRR from £30K to £125K. I bring hands-on experience building sustainable revenue engines for enterprise technology, AI/ML, and developer-tool buyers.
