What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-facing role at a growth-oriented company where I can combine SaaS sales, technical knowledge, and data-driven strategy to drive customer value and revenue.

I am a sales-focused SaaS professional with hands-on technical experience in AI and analytics, and a Bachelor of Science in Information Sciences. I bring experience building client relationships, driving revenue through consultative sales, and applying technical skills to product and go-to-market strategy.

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.

My technical background includes AI projects (computer vision and conversational AI), programming in Python, C/C++, Java, and working with cloud and analytics tools. I seek roles where I can combine sales leadership with product and data-informed growth strategy to help customers adopt impactful SaaS solutions.
