Results-driven Account Executive specializing in market expansion and sales.
What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated Account Executive with extensive experience in driving market expansion and sales growth across various sectors, including technology and finance. My journey began at the University of Sydney, where I earned my Master's in Economics, which laid the foundation for my analytical approach to sales and client engagement.
Throughout my career, I've consistently exceeded sales targets and generated significant pipeline growth. At Trustana, I was the first Account Executive in Australia, successfully establishing the company's presence and driving adoption of AI-powered solutions. My strategic outreach and collaboration with cross-functional teams have led to impressive results, including exceeding ramp targets by 220% at Rippling and generating $950K in revenue at Confluent.
I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in relationship building and strategic planning to deliver value-driven solutions. My commitment to client success and ability to navigate complex organizational structures have been key to my achievements, and I am eager to bring this expertise to new challenges.
