Adrian Gahlot — Business Development Executive
Enterprise sales professional with 10+ years in customer-facing roles, responsible for growing revenue through new business, renewals, cross-sells and upsells. I’ve thrived in both a startup and a large enterprise. Hence I’m comfortable operating in a 0–1 motion or scaling established go-to-market playbooks in a mature, process-driven enterprise. I started my career serving SMB customers and progressively moved up to Mid-Market and then complex Enterprise customers. This journey has helped me build strong fundamentals in advanced stakeholder management and strategic thinking needed to navigate multi-layered enterprise customers. I’ve sold to stakeholders in Sales, Marketing, IT, and Product across industries like e-commerce, manufacturing, IT services, consulting, SaaS often leading deals with demanding buyers who care about clear ROI, cost optimization, productivity gains, seamless tech integrations, compliance and data security. I’m currently serving as an Enterprise Account Director for large enterprises within the LinkedIn Sales Solutions business. Career Highlights: * Qualified for President’s Club (top 5% of global sales reps) in FY24 at LinkedIn. * Consistently delivered <5% customer churn for over 6+ years at LinkedIn. * Scaled the Hyperlocal BU from 0-1 in a year at Onlinesales.ai. * Received appreciations from several D2C SMB founders for significantly growing their revenues through Meta & Google Ads during my tenure at Sokrati and Onlinesales.ai. Beyond work - I love trekking, riding and traveling. If not outdoors, I'd be glued watching motorsports and documentaries on Netflix.
