I made my first ‘sale’ at 14 working as a magician's assistant at a summer fair.

Since then, I’ve worked in technology in roles spanning: sales development, customer success, solution engineering, leadership, enablement, innovation & strategy, and executive coaching.

It wasn’t all roses and daisies. I had a fair bunch of obstacles along the way:

- As an SDR, I almost didn’t make it
- As a customer success manager, I got chewed out by irate clients
- As a sales leader, I was on a plane every other week between cities
- As a field enabler, I realized there is no ‘one size fits all’ learning modality
- As a strategy lead, build vs. buy was a constant debate stalling progress

Along the way, I gained an insatiable curiosity and a well-rounded perspective for the SaaS industry.

I learned from and worked with, some of the best sales professionals and leaders in the game. Studying their craft and adapting my style.

This led me to:

- 8 promotions in 10 years
- A recognized top-performing Solutions Engineer in 2015 & 2016
- 155+% quota attainment as an AE for 2017 & 2018
- A four-time Dreamforce attendee & keynote speaker
- My role as an executive coach to some best & brightest

Currently, I spend my time as an Executive Coach working with new, experienced, and in-need leaders at Salesforce. I help uncover what drives, motivates, and inspires them to show up each day fulfilled and drive personal and team success.
