I build enterprise SaaS and AI revenue engines, scaling GTM, sales teams, and ARR with measurable speed.
What I'm looking for
I’m a B2B sales leader with 11+ years building revenue engines across India, APAC, and the USA in SaaS, AI/Agentic, and technology. I consistently delivered 115–132% of quota across individual and leadership mandates, combining strategic design with hands-on execution.
Across VP and leadership roles, I architect GTM strategies from the ground up—structuring pipeline, defining revenue architecture, and owning the full lifecycle from new logo acquisition to upsells and renewals. I scale high-performance SDR and enterprise sales teams, and I’m trusted by founders and growth-stage businesses to build sales infrastructure, activate channel partnerships, and win new logos at speed.
My work centers on repeatable performance systems: hiring and coaching, sales training, SOP design, and performance frameworks that drive predictable results. In parallel, I advise as a fractional VP-level revenue partner, helping SaaS and AI-led teams structure GTM, pipelines, and sales processes with measurable impact.
