I thrive in environments where clarity, culture, and accountability matter. As CRO of BeyondID (acquired by KeyData Cyber), and former Global Services Sales leader at Okta and Appirio, I’ve led high powered sales and services teams ramping up GTM motions that help enterprise customers accelerate transformation across multiple cloud and SaaS ecosystems. I'm unique in that my experience crosses all aspects of enterprise software including leading software license sales/GTM, Solution Engineering/pre sales teams, as well as professional services sales teams. I have also been the delivery executive, driving customer success across ERP, Human Capital Management & CRM. This breadth of experience allows me to understand peer organizations within the company - nurturing a positive coworker and ultimately customer experience. I have been fortunate to have a track record of hiring & mentoring team members who excel and are often promoted within the organization. My focus on measurable business outcomes helps customers articulate and realize quantifiable business value. Before my career in technology, I spent several years as a corporate financial professional. I am always open to connecting with executives, investors, and leaders.
