About Me...

I'm a seasoned revenue executive that continues to thrive on the cutting edge of GTM strategy.

After a more than a decade at Microsoft with my final role as a global industry leader in enterprise sales, I dove head-first into the startup world where I was part of the leadership team for 2 successful exits. Since then I've consulted and advised over 84 rapid-growth startups and public companies, both independently and as part of my work at Winning By Design.

My startup consulting includes clients like HashiCorp, SmartRecruiters, Gitlab, ZeroEyes, Qualio, and Folloze. Large enterprise clients have included Docusign, Amazon Business, Leixir Dental, and Verra Mobility. 

Along with my fractional work, I'm 1 of 3 instructors for the highly-rated "Revenue Architecture" course for execs. I've also co-developed the "Enterprise GTM School" course at Pavilion.

I've built revenues and teams from the first sale to over $45 million in B2B SaaS and I've also grown a global sales and marketing function 44% YoY to over $507 million. Few have the diversity of experience in startups, coaching, enterprise sales, and client breadth in B2B SaaS.

My love for leading and helping others grow spilled over into my personal life as I've been a football coach and mentor for a number of startup communities and funds.

I've grown teams through smooth sailing and through rough waters and now share my sales, leadership, and bizdev experience with the next generation of leaders.
