James Haygood

With over 20 years of experience as a results-driven sales executive, I have consistently delivered transformative growth for technology-driven organizations by leading high-performing teams, optimizing operational efficiency, and driving revenue through innovative solutions. My proven expertise in SaaS sales, cloud-based platform integration, and CRM system optimization aligns seamlessly with Bland’s mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions and exceptional value to its clients.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a unique ability to scale businesses and build strategic partnerships that drive profitability. For example, as Vice President of Business Development and Operations at ONSITE, I built and scaled a division from the ground up, achieving 1200% growth while maintaining a 34% profit margin. By developing and deploying an in-house CRM and project management system, I streamlined workflows, improved operational efficiency, and fostered strong client relationships—key outcomes that I am confident I can replicate at Bland.

At Custom Lift Solutions (CLS), I achieved 400% year-over-year sales growth by building a high-performing sales team and implementing a strategic go-to-market plan. I also consulted clients on technology-driven solutions, including a VR-based platform for elevator design integrated with AWS infrastructure, which underscores my ability to leverage emerging technologies to solve complex business challenges.

My experience extends to mergers and acquisitions, where I facilitated the sale of Unique Elevator Interiors (UEI) for 11X EBITDA, ensuring a smooth transition under new ownership. This accomplishment, coupled with my ability to manage $180M+ in technology-driven projects and achieve 20X revenue growth in five years, highlights my strategic leadership and business acumen.

I am particularly drawn to Bland’s commitment to innovation and excellence, and I am eager to bring my expertise in SaaS sales, cloud integration, and C-Suite relationship management to your team. My track record of delivering measurable results, combined with my passion for building high-performance cultures, positions me to make an immediate and lasting impact at any company. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and achievements align with Bland’s goals.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team’s success.
