Brandon Rizzo
@brandonrizzo
Sales leader and real estate operator who drives 110%+ quota attainment and $30M+ P&Ls through operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operator and sales leader with 15+ years of experience driving revenue growth, managing $30M+ P&Ls, and leading high-performing teams across real estate, hospitality, and B2B services. I’ve consistently exceeded quota (110%+), built multi-million dollar pipelines from zero, and improved retention and profitability across complex portfolios.
My edge is combining operational depth with sales execution—reducing operating expenses by 20–30% and delivering $3.5M+ in savings while maintaining 80–100% client/member retention across 1,000+ accounts. Recently, I’ve led rapid site launch and relocation work in under 90 days and built tighter alignment between sales, operations, and delivery to raise conversion and long-term growth.
