About

The Operator Behind
the Revenue Engine

Current Role
Head of Growth, Operations & Enablement — Global Partnerships, GBG

I’m a Revenue Enablement and GTM Transformation Executive with 20+ years of experience scaling global go-to-market organizations across SaaS, cloud, fintech, subscription, and usage-based businesses.

I’ve built and led Revenue Enablement, field effectiveness, onboarding, sales/service operations, and deal desk teams supporting thousands of employees worldwide at Amazon Web Services, American Express, Justworks, GBG, and Providian Financial.

I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution — a trusted partner to CROs, Sales, CS, Marketing, Product, and Finance leaders who need someone who can architect the GTM system, build the team, and deliver measurable results.

Having led full-stack marketing — including brand, product marketing, demand generation, field marketing, and marketing operations — I bring a cross-functional fluency that few revenue leaders possess. I’m one of the rare executives who has sat in both the Revenue Enablement and CMO seats, which means I align Sales, Marketing, and CS not just in theory, but from lived experience on all sides of the table.

What I Do

Core Expertise

Revenue Enablement Strategy

Designing and scaling enablement programs that cut ramp time, increase quota attainment, and build consistent field performance across global sales organizations.

GTM Transformation

Reimagining go-to-market motions for enterprise and growth-stage companies — from org design and role definition to coverage models and pipeline health frameworks.

Sales, Marketing & CS Alignment

Architecting the connective tissue between revenue functions — building unified customer journeys, shared accountability metrics, and cross-functional operating cadences. Created full GTM launch mechanisms four times across American Express, Amazon Web Services, Justworks, and GBG.

Partner & Channel Enablement

Building and scaling global partner ecosystems — from partner onboarding and training to co-sell motions and joint GTM execution across multiple geographies.

Sales, CS & Marketing Operations

Optimizing deal desk, forecasting, QBR infrastructure, and productivity measurement across the full revenue cycle. Extends into Customer Success Operations — post-sale engagement, retention, satisfaction, and NPS — and Marketing Operations, including campaign infrastructure, attribution modeling, martech stack management, and demand generation analytics.

Full-Stack Marketing Leadership

Having served as CMO, I bring end-to-end marketing fluency rare among revenue leaders — spanning brand strategy, product marketing, demand generation, field marketing, and digital. This cross-functional depth means I align Sales, Marketing, and CS from lived experience on all sides of the table, not just theory.

AI-Enabled Revenue Leadership

Leveraging AI Across the Full Sales Cycle

In an AI-first environment, I don’t just adopt tools — I build the systems that make AI work for revenue teams at scale. I’ve embedded AI into GTM workflows to compress preparation time from hours to minutes, surface real-time insights during the buying journey, and ensure the practices of top performers are codified and replicated globally.

Automated content preparation and call-readiness workflows, reducing prep time from hours to minutes
AI-generated post-meeting minutes and follow-up summaries to reduce administrative drag on sellers
Real-time call productivity analysis identifying coaching gaps and triggering targeted enablement interventions
Competitor intelligence automation surfacing battlecard insights and objection-handling support in-context
AI-driven replication of top-seller behaviors across global revenue teams through pattern recognition and playbook automation
Led AI innovation adoption across all core revenue tools — CRM, enablement platforms, conversation intelligence, and deal desk systems
