More

I help companies unlock new revenue engines by building modern GTM channels, launching outcome-based routes-to-market, and tightening the connection between Product, Sales, and Customer Success. My work spans early-stage zero-to-one and enterprise transformation. I’ve launched new cloud-native offerings, established global field readiness, modernized pricing and packaging, and driven sustained ARR growth across cyber resilience and data protection markets. A few things that define how I operate: • Business-first GTM strategy rooted in partner monetization, repeatable services, and SaaS efficiency • Strong cross-functional leadership shaping product roadmaps for multi-tenant scale, automation & integration • Empathy for the frontline: building programs sellers and partners actually use • Data-driven decisions paired with clear communication and storytelling that mobilizes teams The consistent outcome is growth. High-velocity acquisition. Stickier consumption. Better alignment across how a product is built, sold, delivered, and expanded. I’m energized by organizations looking to accelerate in the SaaS era. Whether that’s transforming a legacy motion or launching a new platform into the market, I thrive on turning complexity into clarity and scale.
