My mission is to inspire, educate, and coach people and teams to achieve their goals and create positive impacts for their customers.

As an executive, coach, and consultant with over 25 years of experience in digital and customer experience, I help customer-obsessed business leaders reach their full potential and deliver exceptional results.

Interim GTM and Product Leader

VMware

In this player/coach sales role in Global (top 100) Accounts, I held a $100M+ annual quota earned leading strategic pursuits to support customers' revenue, margin, and customer experience growth while reducing risk. Our charter bridged finance, sales ops, and sales strategy to bring growth expertise plus business value analysis and executive positioning to our largest deals and customer transformation opportunities -- connecting a strong digital foundation to our customers' customers' experience across industries ranging from finserv to retail to tech to natural resources to manufacturing to telecom. Building cloud-based revenue models, working with global SISOs and service providers, and championing strategies to grow within these strategic accounts were also areas where I led. As a founding team member, I built the initial engagement framework and playbook and led the team that built a comprehensive, cross-product-line value framework and toolkit that was borrowed by other segments. Exceeded quota each of my two years in this role.

Previously led monetization of new solutions through cloud provider partner-customers, piloting a new GTM model as a product marketing leader in our cloud provider team. My team facilitated and coached partners' teamwork across disciplines (engineering, sales, marketing, product, support) to create differentiated value. We connected the output to adaptable digital marketing kits (lead gen strategy, social media marketing, content marketing, account-based marketing, etc.) that my team built plus coaching to drive joint go-to-markets that accelerated early customer wins and revenue growth. Partners broadly ID'd the pilot as a new best practice. Also led a pivotal cloud services market segmentation research initiative and led our v1 devops product marketing team.

Initial role leading mobile PaaS strategy, partnerships and positioning for vCloud Air resulted in joint differentiation for early adopter customer wins.
