About

As the first employee at Whatfix, I’ve spent the past decade building our global sales organization from scratch - scaling from $0 → $100M ARR, onboarding 1000+ customers (including 135+ Fortune 1000), and expanding across 40+ countries. Joined when we had 4 customers. I’ve led Whatfix through multiple scale stages - from founder-led selling as a rep to structured global GTM - building teams, functions, and playbooks that turned experimentation into predictable revenue. Currently leading NA Sales (70% rev contributor to company's rev), with a focus on sustainable pipeline growth and enterprise expansion. Highlights: ★ Led GTM execution from ~$3M → $100M ARR across NA & EMEA, building repeatable enterprise and mid-market sales motions. The initial phase from 0-$3M, ran as a sales rep as a consistent top performer. ★ Built & scaled Sales Recruitment, Ops, Enablement, and PreSales functions → created hiring frameworks, sales tech stack, and training systems adopted globally ★ Closed (directly/with team) the first $5K, 50K, 100K, 250K, 500K → $1.2M+ ARR deals land, defining pricing, motion, and sales culture along the journey across geo. ★ Designed modular GTM playbooks (SDR/AE hiring, outbound prospecting, negotiation, and closing) — now used by SaaS startups I advise. ★ Partnered cross-functionally with Product, Marketing & CS to align pipeline generation, expansion, and retention strategies ★ Established forecasting rhythm and deal governance models that improved predictability and win rates. ★ Mentored 100s of sellers in this journey across the years. 15+ sellers are now Heads of Sales at high-growth SaaS startups. ★ Active SaaS sales community contributor (follow my content on #TheSalesSurgeon) & advisor to multiple startups I’m passionate about scaling SaaS/AI sales engines that last, building leadership depth within teams, and designing GTM strategies that evolve with growth.
