At Responsive, I sell SRM across APAC and ANZ and transitioned to piloting Responsive Lite (Agentic AI) as product capabilities and go-to-market priorities evolved. I delivered over 80% of quota in Q1 and Q2 2026, generated approximately $1.2M in qualified pipeline, and use Salesforce, BoostUp, MEDDPICC, and Mutual Action Plans to manage opportunities.

Previously, at Highperformr, I secured seven enterprise deals worth over $139K ARR and 23 Ad-hoc/SMB deals worth over $13K within two quarters. Across my B2B SaaS sales roles, I’ve worked across the full sales cycle, from outbound prospecting and product demonstrations to deal closure, and have generated pipeline and revenue across SMB and Mid-Market segments.
