Rolando López
@rolandolpez
Senior global sales and marketing strategist driving pipeline, revenue, and growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Global Sales & Marketing Strategist who builds end-to-end growth systems—pipeline, revenue execution, and cross-functional alignment—so teams hit targets with speed, accuracy, and accountability. In my most recent role, I owned growth from discovery through negotiation and close, protecting margin and delivery feasibility while scaling output with lean resources.
At CallZilla, I built the pipeline engine (ICP, lists, sequences, routing, SLAs) and the operating system (dashboards, forecasting, pipeline hygiene), partnered with marketing to refine ICP and messaging, and launched vertical ABM/event/webinar plays that turned intent into qualified meetings and sales-ready opportunities. I also standardized outbound narratives with case studies, one-pagers, talk tracks, and competitive positioning, then reinforced execution through a repeatable Sales-to-Delivery handoff process (SOW clarity, success metrics, governance cadence) to reduce rework and stabilize early performance.
Previously, at Gradia Health and Modsquad, I drove major growth by developing sales workflows from the ground up, improving lead nurturing and client longevity (including cutting churn and increasing engagement), and leading teams of 10. I bring a practical finance-and-accountability lens (e.g., Google Sheets forecasting and budgeting), deep coaching from call reviews and objection handling to deal strategy, and strong go-to-market fundamentals across sales, marketing, CRM automation, SEO/email campaigns, lead scoring, and targeted outreach—because growth is only real when it’s repeatable.
