What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first revenue team where I can lead inbound growth and revenue operations using tactical empathy and AI automation to own pipeline velocity, conversion, partner onboarding, and retention.

I’m a high-conviction Revenue Lead and Tactical Empathy specialist with a 5+ year track record of dominating US and international markets from a fully remote environment. I’ve delivered an 84% close ratio across 965 transactions and $800,000+ in direct revenue in a single year, earning a dual-CEO Top Performer Award while setting benchmarks well above a ~45% industry close average.

I specialize in transforming traditional customer-service and sales teams into high-performance revenue machines—bridging high-volume execution (900+ closings, multi-cultural markets) with systems architecture (Apollo.io sequencing, CRM automation, and multi-touch drip logic). Using my VARP framework (Validate · Ask & Reframe · Proof · Pin Down), I neutralize complex objections, recover at-risk revenue, and improve conversion, pipeline velocity, and ARR—backed by measurable outcomes like 150% warm-lead volume growth, $50,000/month enterprise partnership impact, 100% retention on escalated cancellations, 20% lower call-handle time, and partner onboarding improvements that accelerated time-to-revenue by 25%.
