Summary

Strategic sales leader with a track record of transforming and optimizing GTM strategies, driving predictable revenue growth, and scaling high-performing teams. I bring deep experience building and leading sales organizations from the ground up and at scale, delivering results through a blend of data-driven decision-making, operational excellence, and a deep understanding of both enterprise and transactional sales motions.

At SiriusXM/Pandora, I helped scale a 60-person Inside sales org, growing revenue from $10M to over $50M, while improving key sales metrics like conversion rates and sales cycle velocity through tighter qualification, better segmentation, and focused enablement. More recently at Relay Payments, a venture-backed SaaS FinTech, I led sales strategy that added $5M+ in new ARR and drove 65% YoY growth. I helped architect a Salesforce “command center” that used opportunity and lead scoring to guide seller focus, and launched a self-serve motion to efficiently convert hyper-local prospects. Across every role, I’ve focused on building systems that enable scalability and forecasting accuracy, standardizing pipeline stages, tightening CRM discipline, and aligning marketing, SDRs, and AEs under a unified GTM strategy.
