Message

At Vericant, I lead sales, marketing, strategic partnerships, and product commercialization for a SaaS education technology company serving schools and universities globally. I expanded its institutional partner network by 25% and led the commercialization and launch of AI-enabled admissions interview products.

Previously, at Shared-X, I led more than $20 million in international B2B sales and developed export partnerships with international buyers and wholesalers. I also built sales and marketing teams and launched five corporate websites.

Earlier at Vericant, I launched a product that later contributed up to 40% of total company revenue. My experience also includes international business development, cross-cultural work, and teaching in China and community economic development in Panama.
