About

17+ years of experience - 10+ in sales, 6 in startups, and 9 in private equity. I specialize in B2B SaaS/services, PE-backed growth, high-end conference production, and executive recruiting across most functions (placed 100+). I’ve scaled revenue from $0 to $1M ARR as a founding rep, built GTM teams (SDR, BD, AM), and advised Series A to PE-owned firms on recruiting, sales ops, and growth strategy, leading to numerous exits.Professional mantras: Don't complain or explain: Action > excuses • Work hard, be kind: You won't be left behind • Lead with service: compassion winsFun facts: Raised on a llama ranch • Girl dad (includes a fluffy white Pomeranian) • Deep-dish pizza & sourdough everything bagel chef • Backpacking and sunlight charge me up
