What I'm looking for

I seek a senior sales role driving enterprise SaaS revenue in federal/commercial markets, with strategic partner collaboration, complex deal leadership, and opportunities to scale teams and processes.

I am a proven enterprise SaaS sales leader with 10+ years driving federal and commercial growth, consistently exceeding quotas and closing seven-figure deals. I build executive relationships with agencies and strategic partners to expand enterprise opportunities and scale revenue.

At Decision Lens I exceeded a $2M quota at 150%, closed $3M+ ARR and created a $14.5M qualified pipeline while managing reseller agreements and supporting a successful private equity acquisition. Previously, I led growth operations at CloverDX, where I helped generate large-scale pipeline, closed one of the company's top three deals, and scaled an international Sales Development team.

I combine strategic partner development, complex procurement navigation, and hands-on sales operations to accelerate GTM execution. I am results-oriented, collaborative with product and marketing, and focused on measurable revenue impact and scalable growth.
