5B in total contract value. Now returning to full-time US-based sales leadership. I've carried the number, and I've built the system that lets a team carry it. My edge is the combination most leaders only have half of: the executive credibility to win platform-level deals inside the Fortune 500, and the hands-on discipline to build a GTM motion from zero, ramp new reps fast, and turn a sloppy, hopeful pipeline into a forecastable one. That discipline is codified, not improvised. Through Paradiem Ventures I've turned two decades of enterprise selling into repeatable systems: the SIM Method for territory and pipeline architecture, and a post-bootcamp ramp playbook that gets new reps to credible business-value conversations in weeks, not quarters. I put it to work advising AI-security and cloud-platform companies scaling from $5M to $50M ARR. I also co-lead org, a 3,000-plus member cloud security community, which keeps me close to the practitioners and buyers my teams sell to. Relocating from Singapore to the US in [July 2026], relocation already underway. Targeting VP Sales, Regional Sales Director, and Senior Director roles where the mandate is to build and scale a team, not just maintain one. Open to Austin, the Pacific Northwest, California, and North Carolina.
