Full-cycle Account Executive building pipeline and closing SaaS deals with sharp discovery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-cycle Account Executive with 8+ years of SaaS sales experience across startup and enterprise environments. I ramp fast in technically complex and unfamiliar domains, and I build pipeline from scratch.
At LlamaZOO, I built $10M+ in pipeline from scratch with zero industry background by becoming fluent in the product and the business problems it solved. I’m known for a hunter mindset, sharp discovery, and high emotional intelligence—earning trust quickly and uncovering expansion opportunities.
In my current role (Government and SMB), I lead end-to-end sales: qualifying, negotiating, and closing SaaS deals while driving against quota. I’ve achieved 96% of quota in my ramp quarter and operate within 30–60 day sales cycles, with a focus on volume, velocity, and pipeline hygiene.
Previously, I owned greenfield territory, managed the sales process from outreach to close, and delivered $2.8M+ in closed deals over 6 years. I ran technical demos, negotiated complex, multi-stakeholder deals, collaborated with Solution Architects and Product, and supported pilots/POCs to drive recurring subscribers.
