Senior sales and GTM leader driving revenue for high-growth SaaS.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior sales and marketing leader with 9+ years building full‑cycle B2B SaaS revenue engines, GTM strategy, pipeline development, and strategic partnerships across AI, blockchain, and deep‑tech startups. I combine player‑coach execution—carrying quota and closing pilots—with team leadership, sales playbooks, and repeatable expansion motions that delivered measurable ARR growth and retention improvements.
I have led remote, distributed teams and launched rapid GTM programs, created investor and sales collateral, and implemented revenue operations and customer success processes that reduced onboarding time and churn while increasing upsell. My work includes building partner portfolios (€1.2M ARR with strong renewal/expansion rates), developing AI-powered sales workflows, and optimizing demand generation for Series A/B and high‑growth SaaS businesses.
