Revenue-focused sales leader building repeatable GTM motions and closing multi-million-dollar ARR across SaaS startups.
What I'm looking for
I am a revenue-focused sales leader with extensive experience building go-to-market motions from scratch and closing multi-million-dollar ARR across SaaS and early-stage startups. I combine hands-on sales leadership with venture investing exposure to sharpen commercial strategy and deal selection.
At Chore Inc & AutoPilot Fund I owned the full sales cycle, drove $1M+ ARR in 12 months, and created scalable outbound playbooks that improved conversion and shortened cycles. I have consistently partnered with founders and product teams to refine positioning, demos, and pricing.
In regional leadership roles at GoBuild 360 and ITILITE I expanded markets, negotiated strategic enterprise accounts, and built outbound engines that produced high-quality demo pipelines and measurable revenue growth. I leverage market insights to shape targeted sales strategies and forecasting.
I mentor and enable teams through playbooks, training, and process improvements, and I bring investor-side perspective from roles at Thirdbase Capital and AutoPilot that enhance GTM discussions and commercial decision-making.
