Jerome Schokman
@jeromeschokman
Enterprise Account Executive who builds high-performing teams and accelerates SaaS and subscription growth through strategic GTM execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Enterprise sales and business development leader with 20+ years of experience driving growth across SaaS, mobility, investment, and clean energy by expanding strategic market/partner ecosystems and executing disciplined pipeline strategy.
I architect and operationalize go-to-market strategies that strengthen enterprise relationships and move key business outcomes—customer acquisition, subscription revenue growth, churn reduction, and high-value contract wins—especially across international markets.
Most recently, I’ve led digital brand and AI-driven lead generation that produced highly qualified investor pipelines, helping conversion reach 20–30% and contributing to $252M in active land banking subscriptions with $34M in equity raised. I also scaled investor acquisition for USCIS approved EB 5 programs by leveraging global summits, referral networks, and cross-border partnerships.
Earlier, I scaled ARR from $720K to $3.2M by transitioning to subscription revenue, improved churn from 8% to under 2% through proactive customer success, and expanded global sales coverage from 7 to 32 reps across 40+ international markets. I’m at my best transforming underdeveloped regions and product categories into repeatable, forecastable growth engines using data-driven sales processes and customer-centric engagement.
