Naya S. — Co-Founder
I work around how revenue decisions actually get made, by buyers, sellers, and operators. I’m currently the Partnerships Lead (UK & UAE) at Whop, where I work with digital and platform businesses as they scale, and payments move from background infrastructure to a growth variable. My role sits close to: – revenue – buyer behaviour – and the systems that either support growth or quietly slow it down A lot of the work is spotting friction before it gets labelled as a “payments problem”. Alongside this, I’m the founder of Women’s Sales Institute, a boutique proof-of-work training and placement platform for high-performing women transitioning into remote sales roles, without burning down their existing careers or lowering their standards. My background spans institutional finance and commercial sales. I began my career in banking, working in FX Sales at NatWest Markets, before moving into B2B payments and tech sales at JPMorgan. Across those environments, and now as a founder and operator, I’ve seen how often performance issues are framed as effort or skill problems, when they’re actually about: – judgment – psychology – and the systems people are operating within That lens shapes everything I do. On LinkedIn, I mostly write to think out loud about: – sales and persuasion through a psychological lens – performance, standards, and consistency over time – women navigating ambition, pressure, and career transitions – what work actually looks like behind the scenes If you’re building something serious, selling something complex, or thinking thoughtfully about how you want to work next - feel free to connect 🤝
