I sell software to large Enterprises. I've done it for a long time and I'm pretty good at it.

More

My career has awarded me the privilege of travelling the world and working alongside a diverse cast of incredible people, some of whom I class as true geniuses. I've achieved many remarkable things along the way, including navigating a successful IPO, presenting to the Global CEO of a Financial Services giant and closing the biggest deal in company history (multiple times). It's been rewarding, it's been challenging, it's been inspirational, I've been pushed harder than I could have ever imagined and I still feel like I'm at the beginning of the journey. Always learning, always striving to accomplish more, always trying to inject some fun and really just aiming to provide the very best possible life for my family.
