About

I’ve always been passionate about championing great brands more than promoting myself. From a young age, I discovered a natural gift for communication (just ask my kindergarten teacher, who couldn’t find a seat far enough away to keep me from talking!). Over the years, I’ve refined that gift into a professional strength building meaningful relationships, telling impactful stories, and driving business results. Today, I lead sales strategy for the US SMB and Mid‑Market segments, where I focus on multi threaded selling, engaging multiple stakeholders across finance, IT, and operations to build consensus and secure long term partnerships. My approach emphasizes authentic discovery conversations that uncover client pain points, paired with story driven demos and ROI oriented solutions that inspire confidence and commitment. I leverage Salesforce, Outreach, and Gong to manage complex pipelines, improve forecasting accuracy, and coach high performing teams. By combining data driven insights with a people first leadership style, I create an environment where teams thrive and clients experience exceptional outcomes. I thrive on big ideas, bold missions, and work that feels more like an adventure than a job. Whether it’s collaborating cross functionally to deliver seamless client experiences or mentoring the next generation of sales leaders, I’m energized by the impact we can create together. I’m especially skilled in multi threaded selling, full cycle deal management, and data driven pipeline execution using Salesforce, Outreach, and Gong helping US SMB and Mid‑Market clients achieve measurable ROI while fostering long term growth.
