I close enterprise data, AI, cloud, and infrastructure platform deals through value-based selling.
What I'm looking for
I've sold enterprise data, AI, cloud, and infrastructure platforms for more than 15 years, most recently at EDB, where I landed eight enterprise accounts—including two Fortune 500 clients—and built a $10M expansion pipeline.
At Informatica, I closed a $1.3M ACV MDM opportunity and finished #1 on the team at 224% of quota. I built alignment across IT, data governance, business leaders, systems integrators, and hyperscaler partners to turn technical platform value into measurable business outcomes.
My track record includes ranking #1 out of 150 sales reps at Oracle, closing the region's largest CX SaaS application deal, and generating $2.3M in new and renewal business at RSA while growing territory revenue 50% year over year.
I bring a disciplined, data-driven approach to enterprise selling: building business cases, creating champions, navigating competitive cycles with MEDDIC, and developing outbound territory strategies that create repeatable pipeline.
