VMware is a global leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility, accelerating customers' digital transformation journey by enabling enterprises to master a software-defined approach to business and IT. During my time at VMware I've specialized in selling a software-based load balancer.
Covered a wide range of verticals including Enterprise and SLED, but most recently Corporate and Healthcare.
Lead / supported 50+ deals per quarter from start to close, averaging $100K-$300K, up to $1M+.
Contributed to over $6M in global bookings in my first half as an AE. Achieved over 310% of plan last fiscal half, and 100+% this latest quarter.
Worked closely with a team of 50+ sellers, 10 Regional Directors, and several strategic partners to enable 395% growth in pipeline / and 81% growth YoY in bookings since entering role.

Lead Development / Sales Development Rep
Avi Networks
10.2018 - 07.2019
Starting in a 3 month apprenticeship as an LDR, I created over 150 'Account Briefing' documents that provided insights on new projects, key contacts, and tech ecosystem for cold accounts. This significantly shortened the time spent researching by the US West SDR team I supported, resulting in more meetings.
As an SDR, I covered Pacific NorthWest and Heartland account teams by setting, and hosting first meetings with F500 companies. Generated $11M+ in outbound pipeline, contributing to $3M+ in bookings.
Recorded highest call activity among my colleagues every month I was in this role.
