Santosh Tavarageri
@santoshtavarageri
Sales & business development leader driving revenue growth through GTM strategy, sales operations, and customer success.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Sales & Business Operations professional with 7+ years of experience across Sales Operations, Customer Success, GTM execution, and Revenue Growth in SaaS, EdTech, ERP, AI/Deep Tech, and Cloud environments. I’m known for building strategic pipelines, aligning cross-functional teams, and translating data into measurable business outcomes.
In my recent role as a Business Development Manager, I drove go-to-market initiatives for AI-powered solutions by identifying target segments, building outreach strategies, and generating qualified enterprise pipelines. I owned the full enterprise solution sales cycle for complex AI, edge computing, IoT, and cybersecurity offerings—from discovery to closure—while maintaining CRM pipeline discipline and delivering weekly pipeline reviews and revenue forecasts.
Earlier, I led end-to-end customer journeys and revenue growth, including onboarding, configuration, migration, and adoption for Google Workspace deployments. I also improved account performance through KPI tracking and customer lifecycle management, delivering average account growth of 25% and strengthening renewals and expansions through stakeholder engagement with IT Directors, CXOs, and procurement teams.
I thrive at the intersection of GTM and execution—coordinating with R&D, delivery, and implementation teams to develop tailored proposals, PoC plans, and deployment roadmaps. I bring hands-on AI/deep tech exposure, strong CRM administration expertise (Salesforce, HubSpot, MS Dynamics 365, Pipedrive, Zoho), and disciplined KPI/OKR frameworks, supported by tools like Tableau, Excel, and Jaspersoft.
