GTM Architect | Revenue Leader

Revenue leader with 20+ years scaling B2B SaaS organizations from $20M to $100M+ ARR.

I transform underperforming sales teams into high-performers through process discipline, cross-functional integration, and strategic GTM design.

Increasingly focused on helping companies rethink how they structure sales and marketing—specifically, whether demand gen works better under revenue leadership.
