Olivia Newan
@olivianewan
Tech-forward founder and client-acquisition specialist blending sales and deep technical execution.
What I'm looking for
I built a full-cycle B2B client acquisition practice on a technical foundation, running the pipeline from prospecting through scoping, proposal, negotiation, and close. I’ve closed $5,000–$40,000 contracts and directed a three-engineer Salesforce CRM build to strengthen conversion and delivery.
I’m known for cold outreach that converts—recruiting 10 senior NASA subject-matter experts and achieving a Top 7 national placement by authoring a NASA-reviewed proposal built to exacting solicitation requirements. I direct cross-functional teams and translate specialist input into a defensible, scoreable proof of concept.
Across roles, I combine execution with structure: project-managing a deep tech industry event on a $10,000 budget, coordinating R&D and partnerships work, and delivering operational improvements through reporting infrastructure and JIRA ticketing. From freight claims analysis to property logistics and tenant workflow execution, I focus on turning complex inputs into clear outcomes that protect results.
