I accidentally fell into sales as the co-founder of a recording studio where I quickly learned that I have a knack for working with clients. I cut my teeth in SMB sales at Apple where I always exceeded quota and led the team on sales of our premium support offering.
I began working in software at Big Nerd Ranch selling to large enterprises and learning the ins and outs of software languages and frameworks. At Pivotal I consistently exceeded quota as an ISR breaking into cold accounts and I was quickly promoted to the enablement services team where I was the top performing rep.
As an Account Executive at Tackle.io I exceeded expectations and qualified for President’s Club every year. In 2022 I was the highest performing rep in the company. I was then hired as Head of Growth at TextQL, an Enterprise AI data startup. In six months I built the sales playbook and closed the first five customers.
