At Gallagher, I led revenue growth for the Cyber Risk Management Team, contributing $600K+ in net-new revenue. I advised enterprise clients on cyber threats and risk mitigation, and developed tailored programs that strengthened clients’ insurability and Cyber Liability insurance submissions.

Earlier, I closed more than $300K in new business at VikingCloud, Inc and contributed to over $900,000 in net-new managed services opportunities at Nexum, Inc. My sales experience spans cyber risk, PCI compliance, managed services, and logistics, including work with healthcare, hospitality, and insurance markets.
