Accomplishments

I have been in the start up space for over half of the seven years in Los Angeles. I built a robust network of former clients, Channel VARs and SI's and have been a creative contributor to presentations, customer facing documents and workflow process enhancements.

I ramp in every job quickly, give 100+ % in the goal of exceeding revenue targets and contributing to the team. I employ MEDDPIC sales methodology and Challenger Sales.

In my most notable recent achievements ,though not in the most recent role at Cybersixgill, I was able to support the entire West region and West of CAN.

  • Sold the most net/new accounts in the US that included: Bolster, Imperva, Nantworks, Qdoba,Veeva Systems, Barracuda and 3 year upsell agreements with Cisco and Snowflake.
  • Established relationships and introductions to Channel Mgr for niche VARs in Southern California whose partnerships help create over 300K in pipeline.
  • Helped to grow AVG sale from 35K to 65K
