What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-focused mid-market or enterprise SaaS sales role where I can win new logo business, expand accounts, and contribute in a collaborative, metrics-driven team with clear advancement opportunities.

I am a results-driven sales professional with a Master of Science in Finance and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, both completed with honors. I combine financial acumen with analytics-driven selling to drive measurable revenue growth.

At Coupa, I advanced from Account Development Representative to Account Executive and was promoted to Mid-Market Account Executive in February 2025. I delivered 145% attainment in FY25, ranked 12th of 43 reps, and closed notable deals across corporate and mid-market segments.

As an ADR I outbound-sourced over $1.37M ACV ( $1.62M including inbound), delivered the largest closed-won Corporate segment deal (760k ACV), and performed in the top 10% globally. I developed prospecting strategies presented to the global ADR organization and consistently exceeded quota.

I bring hands-on experience with Salesforce, NetSuite, Outreach, Clari, Tableau, Excel and modern GTM tools, plus certifications in Value-Driven Selling and Bloomberg Terminal. I excel at demos, contract negotiation, upsells, and building partner relationships to expand account footprints.
