GTM-focused SaaS sales leader driving partner growth and quota overachievement.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven SaaS sales specialist with 15+ years in channel management and strategic sales development, repeatedly exceeding quotas and driving multimillion-dollar new business growth.
I have a strong track record of partner enablement, go-to-market execution, and precision sales forecasting, including achieving 125% of targets across global partner networks and generating over $2M in net new business.
My experience spans enterprise and SMB motion—designing scalable lead generation campaigns, building strategic partnerships, and creating sales playbooks and executive dashboards to inform leadership decisions.
I bring cross-functional collaboration, executive relationship management, and a proven ability to accelerate partnership revenue, backed by three Presidents Club recognitions and consistent overperformance against aggressive targets.
