Seasoned behavioral health executive turned top-performing sales leader.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned behavioral health executive turned top-performing sales leader with over 12 years of experience in program development, operations, compliance, and SaaS solutions. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including generating $1.4M in revenue within just 13 months at Lightning Step Technologies, where I became the top-grossing Account Executive in the company’s history. My unique blend of clinical insight and strategic sales execution has allowed me to drive meaningful outcomes for healthcare organizations.
Throughout my career, I have built and scaled treatment centers, translating firsthand knowledge into a consultative, high-impact sales approach. I have maintained a remarkable 54% close rate, with the majority of my deals requiring minimal resources. My experience includes leading complex sales cycles, developing training materials for sales teams, and aligning product and sales strategies to enhance market fit. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my expertise to create innovative solutions that address core operational pain points.
