Growth-Focused, Compassionate Leader | Amazon, Salesforce, Meta & Dropbox Alum | CHIEF Member | Mom²

I’ve been told “you’re not good enough” more times than I can count.

When I applied to early decision to Cornell, my Chemistry teacher laughed at me. She wasn't wrong - I got rejected. But “no” on a piece of paper wasn’t going to be the final answer. I called the Dean every single day until he finally took my call. He told me why I didn't get in and what I needed to change.

A year later, I walked through the doors as a student.

That moment shaped everything. 
It taught me how to speak up for myself — clearly, directly, and without apology. I've carried that into every role since. 

I’ve sold for and led teams across some of the biggest tech companies in the world, including Salesforce, Meta, Dropbox and Amazon. Along the way, that meant working through messy launches, rebuilding broken processes, coaching struggling reps, and helping leaders navigate growth, conflict, confusion and change.

And like anyone who's lived a full life, there were personal moments that forced me to rethink what leadership actually looks like. Rejection, personal loss, setbacks, and times where everything felt like it was falling apart. Those experiences changed the way I lead. 

Not with ego. Not with pressure.
But with clarity, communication, and being human first. 

Today, I coach sales leaders and partner fractionally with revenue teams who want to perform at a high level - without burning out or leading on autopilot. 

𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:
- Sales Leaders who want confidence, clarity, and stronger communication
- Revenue teams who need simple, effective, human-first messaging
- Companies who want fractional support to stabilize, sharpen, or accelerate GTM

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘁: 
Connecting with people. 
Getting to the real issue fast. 
Helping leaders show up with confidence. 
Turning chaos into clarity. 

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲:
Leadership isn't about being the loudest voice. 
Sales isn't about pressure.
People don't need more hustle - they need more clarity. 

If you're a sales leader who wants to grow, a team that needs direction, or a company looking for fractional help... 

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸.

My new year starts on January 14th. 

And this was the view I woke up to last Thursday 
on what I'm now officially calling my new year. 

I spent a week in Texas with my childhood best friends.  
7 days away from my kids, my family, and all responsibilities. (Thank you Dan❤️)

It was quiet, the temps were manyyyyy degrees above 0, and I was completely removed from real life. 

2025 was heavy in ways that I'm still unpacking. 
I didn't realize just how tired I was
until I wasn't responsible for anyone but myself. 

December asks for A LOT. 
Making alllll the magic, managing the logistics, holding it all together. 
And by the time January 1st hits, I'm exhausted. 

Why is January 1st the universal reset button when the kids are out of school for at least another 6 days? 

Starting now, my new year starts when MY new year starts.
January 14th.

I’m starting when I’ve recovered, not when I’m supposed to.

And my Christmas tree stays up until Feb 1st. 😱
Yes it's real.
And somehow still very much alive. 

What would you change if you gave yourself permission to start again on your own timeline?

One of the things I'll always be grateful for from my time at Amazon is the rooms I got to sit in. 

Prepared people.
Clear thinking.
Respectful disagreements. 
Ownership and accountability. 

Being in those rooms changed my standards
For how meetings should feel.
How decisions should be made.

And for what it looks like when wicked smart, capable adults take on hard problems... and actually own the outcome. 

That kind of environment stays with you. 
You don’t lose it when you leave a role.

Seeing so many people impacted by the layoffs hits close to home, because I know the rooms they've been in. 

If you were one of them: the bar you operate at didn't move. 

If a conversation or an intro would be helpful right now, my DMs are open.

My network is your network. ❤️

Last night Matthew McConaughey put me to sleep with a bedtime story
via the Calm app. 

10/10 - highly recommend 

And while it's currently 2 degrees
I'll be quietly consuming many cups of tea 
and filling the room with less smells of Pancho 🤣 
and more coffee + cedarwood. 

"Do less. Sell more." 

A solid reminder this time of year
for sellers and 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 juggling everything 
with no space left to think.

Thank you Apollo. ❤️

A founder I once worked with told every client:

"If something's not working, let me know. I want honest and candid feedback."

A large client finally gave it. 

And the founder ignored it. 
Not once.
Twice.

Then reframed it. 

"They should feel lucky to work with us." 

Most of us don't actually want feedback. 
We want reassurance. 

Real feedback is uncomfortable. 
It messes with the story you tell yourself about how good you are.
It forces a choice: being right or being better.

If you ask for feedback and brush it off when it's hard to hear,
that tells people everything they need to know. 

And you're teaching people to stop being honest with you. 

Before you say “I’m open to feedback”, ask yourself:
What am I actually willing to change if I hear something I don’t like?

Feedback is a gift.
But 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 if you're willing to receive it.

We hired a new seller and she started this week. I was hesitant as she never had sales experience, but then I looked back at my philosophy of Recruiting is Sales, and said what better way to prove that they're synonymous. 

One of the things she asked during our interview was "What competitor do you admire the most and why?" It seriously stumped me but it changed my narrative of how I approach competitors. 

I loved it, it was thought provoking and led me to make the decision to bring her on board! We are so excited to bring Talia M. to the PerfectHire team!
