About

I build sales and go-to-market systems that help businesses grow sustainably. I started my career early, working on market research and digital growth, and over the years moved into building and scaling sales across B2B, B2C, fintech, and service businesses. Most of my work has been around setting things up from scratch sales processes, GTM strategy, pricing, pitches, and teams and fixing what isn’t working. Currently, I’m building a startup focused on scalable, AI-led business solutions, while also working closely with founders to turn ideas into structured revenue engines. My strengths include: 1. GTM and revenue strategy 2. Building and scaling sales teams 3. Sales operations, onboarding, and escalation handling I prefer practical execution over buzzwords and believe good sales is about clarity, consistency, and people. Always open to conversations around building and scaling real businesses.
