About

I’m a Revenue Operations and Sales Operations leader with a decade of experience scaling GTM engines for SaaS and cybersecurity companies—especially in network security and machine identity. From startups to mid-sized growth-stage teams, I’ve helped build and optimize the full revenue engine: aligning sales, marketing, and customer success around clean data, efficient processes, and unified strategy. What I bring to the table 1. Deep hands-on experience in RevOps & Sales Ops across high-growth B2B tech 2. Architected and integrated tech stacks (Marketo, Outreach, Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Chili Piper) for end-to-end funnel visibility 3. Implemented lead scoring, routing, and forecasting frameworks to drive consistent pipeline velocity 4. Revamped GTM operations to cut lead response time by 60% and improve MQL-to-SQL conversions 5. Advocate for CRM as the single source of truth and operational scalability I thrive on solving cross-functional inefficiencies, bringing structure to chaos, and enabling revenue teams to scale predictably with data and systems that just work.
