Director-level SaaS & automotive growth leader | ARR $185K→$2.6M | AWS/AI upskilling | Fortune 500 client success
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic growth leader with 20+ years in automotive technology, enterprise SaaS, and customer enablement. I specialize in building and leading high-performing teams, driving ARR growth, and delivering lasting client value for Fortune 500 and enterprise accounts.
At CDK Global (CVR Division), I scaled ARR from $185K to $2.6M+ through contract renegotiations, enterprise expansion, and co-developing a title-processing solution that required multi-agency alignment and even new legislation. This work represented over 30% of division ARR from Fortune 250/500 accounts.
Currently at GP Strategies, I lead nationwide product training and digital enablement for General Motors, accelerating EV adoption and dealer network readiness. My work blends strategic program design with on-the-ground execution, ensuring adoption and measurable results.
I’m actively expanding my technical acumen in AWS, AI, and Snowflake to pair proven revenue leadership with modern cloud and automation strategies. While my focus is on director and leadership roles, I’m open to strategic individual contributor positions where I can drive complex enterprise deals end-to-end.
