I am seeking founding GTM, Head of Sales Development, VP Sales, or Head of Sales roles at early-stage SaaS and AI companies where they can build outbound engines, enterprise sales motions, and high-performing revenue teams from zero. I prefer founder-partner environments with a clear product and commercial opportunity, and are open to Remote India.
