@stephenrichards
I grow enterprise cloud and SaaS accounts through adoption, retention, and expansion.
What I'm looking for
I've grown enterprise customer relationships at AWS, Google, GoTo, and Verizon by turning technology priorities into measurable business outcomes.
At GoTo, I managed a $1.5M book of business across 5,000+ accounts, driving 25–30% year-over-year revenue growth through retention, expansion, reactivation, and customer engagement. I was recognized in Q1 2025 for generating the most pipeline across the Mid-Market team.
At AWS, I managed 120 enterprise accounts and achieved 125% quota attainment through strategic account planning, executive discovery, and cloud-adoption strategies developed with Solution Architects. At Google, I exceeded quota for four consecutive years while supporting adoption of Google Cloud and collaboration technologies.
I'm also an independent technology and business consultant, building practical Microsoft 365 and SharePoint solutions that improve process visibility, content management, permissions, workflows, and user adoption. I bring CompTIA Security+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner certification to customer-facing technology work.
