RevOps leader who’s made 15,000+ cold calls, rebuilt dozens of tech stacks, and knows how to make revenue predictable. I started my career in the trenches at

io, dialing every day before the company hit $10M ARR. Always good experience to carry a bag yourself, before you rock the RevOps engine, after all. Since then, I’ve led revenue operations in-house (Head of RevOps at Quizizz, Director of RevOps at SalesScreen, RevOps Manager at MNTN) and as a fractional leader for 30+ SaaS companies including Canva, Tangoe, and Strata Identity. Across every role, the through-line is the same: I make forecasts trustworthy, align GTM teams with Finance, and design scalable systems that unlock growth from $10M to $100M ARR. I’ve rebuilt CRM and engagement stacks, eliminated data integrity issues, and delivered board-ready dashboards that leaders actually trust. Core focus areas: Forecasting & pipeline management • GTM alignment • SaaS growth strategy • Salesforce CPQ & Admin • HubSpot • io • Revenue efficiency & attribution • Change management. And yes — I still believe cold coffee fuels good ops, and we still like to host 1920s speakeasy parties at our house. Ask me about it sometime. History is cool too.
