GTM Engineer, Leading Outbound at Ethena | Lifelong Learner
EthenaAbout
I'm a B2B SaaS GTM builder with a bias for action and a deep passion for signal-based prospecting, creative outbound strategy, and writing messaging that actually earns replies. As the founding BDR at Ethena, I built our outbound function from the ground up — generating 325+ meetings in first 10 months, scaling outreach across 20+ inboxes, and launching signal-driven campaigns that turn into meetings. I’ve trained AI tools on my own outbound writing to scale voice across teams, and I love building systems that help other sellers show up smarter, faster, and more relevant. My background spans SDR leadership, business development, marketing-adjacent enablement, and even running my own business — all rooted in storytelling, experimentation, and empathy. Whether it's a product launch, exec-led play, or ABM experiment, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution. What I’m Great At: -Turning signals (renewals, funding, job changes, tech usage) into outreach strategy -Building outbound programs, messaging kits, and internal playbooks -Writing sequences that speak to real problems — not personas on paper -Working cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, CS, and Leadership -Rolling up my sleeves to experiment, optimize, and ship Let’s connect if you’re building the future of go-to-market — especially in SaaS or AI!
