About

I am a driven sales leader working within the constant mindset of winning through enthusiasm and passion. I have been fortunate to find success in leading high-velocity sales and sales development teams in New York City, across a multitude of digital technologies, SaaS platforms, AdTech and MarTech. My experience ranges from leading and developing go-to-market strategies to day-to-day management of full-cycle sales teams. I’ve helped to build both inbound and outbound processes for a multitude of different scenarios, ICPs, and company types with a large amount of cross-channel interaction and success. I’m an avid supporter of SDRs, AEs, and sales managers alike, and spend the majority of my time coaching people towards the best in outcomes and growth. Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father of five, volunteer firefighter, real estate enthusiast, and professional opera singer. "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
