At IBM, I positioned the company as an industry recognized top 5 leader in enterprise AI & hybrid cloud. At eBay, I increased consideration among a new cohort of buyers and drove 500,000+ new customer engagements.

  ✘ Losing enterprise contracts to better known competitors
  ✘ Watching sales cycles drag on and end in 'no decision'

After working together, my clients have achieved:
  ✔ High-value enterprise contracts at 30% higher rates
  ✔ Ideal customers seek them out without chasing
  ✔ Sales cycles cut in half (with higher close rates)
  ✔ 9X faster growth in strategic segments
