Strategic Sales Director with 12+ years driving global B2B SaaS revenue growth through GTM rigor.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Sales Director and Executive Leader with over 12 years of international experience helping B2B SaaS and technology teams grow revenue, scale operations, and expand market share. I’m known for executing Go-to-Market (GTM) frameworks, building sales organizations from the ground up (0 to 1), and maintaining strict operational rigor in forecasting.
At One Big Media Group, I ensured maximum profitability by driving rigorous P&L management, reducing operational costs by 12% and increasing profit margins by 23%. I also led high-velocity negotiations as the primary Closer in C-level talks with global network CEOs and Directors, achieving a conversion rate above 50%.
I boost performance by redesigning ICP and optimizing the end-to-end GTM cycle—improving lead-to-close conversion rates by 30%—and by restructuring and continuously training SDRs, LDRs, and Closers to exceed revenue KPIs by 10%+ year-over-year. I implemented data-driven governance in Pipedrive (CRM) to improve forecasting accuracy and eliminate funnel bottlenecks, while re-engagement campaigns achieved a closing rate of almost 10%.
I also bring leadership depth: I’ve recruited, coached, and mentored high-performance commercial teams with no turnover for over 3 years, and I was awarded “Leader of the year” two years in a row. Previously at MonetizeMore and Datacolor, I delivered measurable outcomes like reducing churn by 15%, recovering over $100K in lost ARR, improving retention across 500+ B2B accounts, and creating targeted B2B lead generation that generated 50+ qualified prospects in 6 months.
