Summary

Accomplished and entrepreneurial account executive with 10+ years in cybersecurity sales, seeking an established but fast-growing organization to help quickly scale revenue. Intensely focused on sales strategy, solution-oriented selling, and relationship-building to grow revenue.

Track record of quickly ramping up and producing (often as first rep of a cohort to produce revenue), top performance and achievement, and building analytical territory action plans for scale up and greenfield regions.

Recent experience lends well to threat intelligence and darkweb monitoring, with full career history also leaning into multiple other disciplines in cybersecurity. Uncommon sales rep who learns the technology as well as the business, often conducting my own product demos and POCs when necessary.

A friendly competitive mindset helps to keep my motivation, with a personal focus on fitness, sports, and consistent up-skilling in my free-time.
