Senior Change & Adoption Manager

Senior Program Manager, GTM

I operationalized broader GTM initiatives for the SMB segment, and developed SMB segment specific programs. A portion of my time was also spent supporting the SDR organization and the School Sales team. 

More specifically, this involved activities such as shaping GTM strategy, facilitating GTM planning sessions (for ENT, MM, & SMB segments), defining sales process and developing enablement assets. All anchored to achieving our sales targets. 

I obsess over making strategy actionable. And I feel extremely fortunate to be in a position where selling more, translates to more meaningful classroom learning for students all across America.

Sales Program Manager

Accenture

While at Accenture I served clients as a Customer, Sales & Service Executive. I spent my time primarily within client’s Sales organizations. Helping F500 companies sell more, faster and better. I supported Sales transformations end-to-end — strategy, policy, process, technology, enablement — across 4 industries and 9 clients. I also like to say that in 2016, I met my professional soulmate — Design Thinking. I took a 3-day training, and nothing has been the same since. I went on to teach courses for the firm. Lastly, I tinkered with AI by helping establish the Virtual Agent practice. 

I was promoted 3 times. Going from Analyst > Sr. Analyst > Consultant > Manager. It was a challenging & fun ride! Keep on reading for the corporate version.

Technology Consulting Manager

WeElevate

Education services company serving public schools and nonprofits. Notable accomplishments included growing a nonprofit's book of business by 119% and serving 136 students across 5 schools.

Founder & CEO

I brought Design Thinking and Service Design methodologies to SMBs to improve employee and customer experience. A lot of times this involved workshop design and facilitation. I love seeing people's reactions to working in a more fun, joyful and effective way. 

It's not just fun and games though. This stuff worked for them. My work with clients drove triple digit revenue growth through re-design of existing systems and implementation of new ones. 

I believe all businesses, regardless of size or industry (including Nonprofit) should be empowered with the same tools as the world's leading enterprises.

Global Fellows - Distribution Division Intern

Seven years ago, I was a burnt-out and unfulfilled consultant trying to “find my passion.” To get unstuck, I tried and failed at lots of things – being an artist manager, founding a construction business, and founding a K12 nonprofit.

While I didn’t succeed, I *did* build valuable non-traditional experience. 

Years later, I spotted my dream job – a role that balanced purpose & career growth. I used my non-traditional experience and an unconventional job search approach – what I write about here on LinkedIn – to land it. 

Today, I support school districts across California in inspiring students love of learning, and building their skills & knowledge. A dream come true!

On my spare time, I share content on LinkedIn to teach people how to change careers without traditional experience. 

Sending you good vibes. Let’s go get it!
