I build high-output sales organizations for technology companies across cybersecurity, cloud, and B2B SaaS.

My approach is straightforward: keep the pipeline honest, make handoffs clean, coach managers who build winning reps, and align Product and Customer Success so customers feel one team. I stay in the field: I run key deals end-to-end, from discovery and mutual plans to negotiation and close. I’ve led GTM through change, including an acquisition, and I choose repeatable process over headlines. Outgoing, focused, and hungry for results, measured by consistency and customer outcomes. Outside of work, I’m an avid chess fan and follow international tournaments. Jerusalem-based; comfortable with US hours.
