United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've helped companies ranging from high-growth startups to global enterprises establish financial rigor, scale GTM finance operations, and make stronger data-driven decisions.
At Alteryx, I built pipeline and bookings forecasting models, led sales capacity planning, and designed global incentive compensation programs aligned to GTM priorities. At Palo Alto Networks, I improved marketing pipeline creation by 20%, conversion by 10%, and services margins by 10% while growing revenue 20%.
Through Left Field Consulting, I advise early-stage and growth clients on strategic planning, pricing optimization, customer analytics, capital efficiency, financial models, and KPI dashboards that strengthen operational maturity and investor confidence.
At Sip Tequila, I established the first strategic finance and analytics function for a $10M DTC spirits business, raised $5M in growth capital, and delivered 15% sales growth with a 10% margin improvement through pricing and GTM optimization.
