Bio

Sales leader with a 20+ year track record of delivering impactful results. I have founded a successful start up, and have been an integral contributor to numerous venture backed start-ups leading to three acquisitions. I have led sales teams, channel partnerships, and have been a top individual contributor. I am respected by my peers and enterprise decision makers as a high-integrity professional, who understands business challenges from both the retailer/brand and vendor perspective and have delivered solutions in SaaS/Marketing Cloud, Testing & Optimization, Personalization, Social/Loyalty, Corporate Training, and Payment and Fraud technologies. In 2017 I joined rapidly scaling start-up Optimove to launch US Enterprise Sales efforts. I was responsible for implementing sales structure and process, as well as building out a National Sales team. Previously, I was recruited by Brooks Bell and tasked with the development and execution of sales strategy. In addition to expanding and refining sales, I was responsible for scaling the Enterprise client roster and Sales team. In 2016 I closed over $2.5MM in net new Enterprise business with top retail vertical leaders. At 500Friends I was the founding Head of Sales, where I helped drive growth through multiple funding rounds - raising $12MM, driving millions in annual recurring revenue, and leading to our acquisition by Merkle. As SVP of US Sales at Accertify, I led Strategic Partnerships and pursued top Enterprise prospects, and was a key contributor to the $150MM acquisition by American Express - where I owned Sales for the US National Sales team and hired and trained 6 National VP of Sales.
