Sales-driven SaaS professional blending technical AI experience with consultative B2C and B2B sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a sales-focused SaaS professional with hands-on technical experience in AI and analytics, and a Bachelor of Science in Information Sciences.

At Thryv and previous roles I used Salesforce, Salesloft, Outreach, and other CRM tools to streamline outreach and pipeline generation, consistently meeting or exceeding activity and revenue goals. I have experience onboarding and mentoring new hires, conducting customer discovery, and translating customer needs into actionable product insights.
