Enterprise account leader at Opti9, growing Marriott’s $5.4M ARR relationship with 98%+ retention.
What I'm looking for
At Opti9, I manage commercial execution and strategic account growth for a $5.4M ARR managed-services relationship with Marriott International, spanning approximately 1,200 properties and maintaining 98%+ retention. I co-sold an AWS EC2 managed-backup expansion that generated approximately $300K in ARR, and closed 2025 at approximately 120% of quota.
Previously, as Vice President, Sales & Partnerships at Aavgo, I built a reseller and systems-integrator partner program from the ground up as the company scaled ARR from approximately $300K to $8.5M. Across enterprise technology, SaaS, cloud, and managed services, I’ve developed partner ecosystems and strategic relationships that support recurring revenue growth.
