Sales Development Operations Leader

Scale up your sales coaching with Second Nature's sales coaching software. It provides a "virtual pitch partner" that uses conversational Al to have actual discussions with sales reps, score them, and help them improve on their own, so they can ace every sales call.

As the Head of Sales Development Operations, I built out & lead our SDR team (100% female), aka ‘Jenny from the Block’. In addition, I oversee our Sales & Marketing tech stack - from Hubspot, SalesLoft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator to ZoomInfo, Seamless.ai & Regie.ai. Helping our revenue org build funnel & pipeline through qualified meetings.

Saturday shoutout to the incredible customers we get to build with at Apollo 👏

“Apollo is the best, most holistic, most well-rounded tool we can live in. We genuinely can’t do our jobs without it.”

Hearing feedback like this never gets old. It’s a powerful reminder of why we do what we do—and how much trust our customers put in us every day.

This is also a perfect example of the GTM + AM partnership in action: listening closely, iterating fast, and building alongside our users to solve real problems. Thanks Anna Lee Webster!  

Huge thanks to the team at Sesami for the continued partnership and for keeping us honest (and for continuing to lobby whoever controls the checkbook 😄). We immensely appreciate you ❤️

Kicking off 2026 with some really great customer conversations already 🚀

I love sharing my perspective as a GTM Engineer and helping teams see how small tweaks—smarter workflows, AI-powered research, and our AI Assistant—can transform their day-to-day in Apollo.io.

I’m also excited to meet with more customers over the coming weeks and showcase some of the real work our AI team has been building—especially with the official launch of AI Messaging 4.0.

A few highlights from the video below 👇
 • Turn prospecting → fully personalized, multi-channel sequences in under 10 minutes
 • Use the Apollo AI Assistant to instantly generate 6-step sequences (email, calls, LinkedIn)
 • Power everything with the Content Center — the foundation for consistent, on-brand AI messaging
 • Run deep company + executive persona research automatically (no copy/paste, no open-web rabbit holes)
 • Deliver messaging that actually looks like you tried — competence-assumed, no AI fluff
 • Preview and scale highly personalized outreach across accounts in minutes, not hours

This is about helping teams move faster without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Huge kudos for René Cobar & the AI team in this launch!

DM me if you want to see this in action or have any questions!

Come work with one of the best Marketers in the business Katie Parkes & for a company that is changing the way teams approach GTM at Apollo.io. DM myself or Katie if you are interested in the role!

Director of Social & Community @ Apollo.io | Ex-Shopify

You’ll build credibility, community, and pipeline, and continue to turn creator marketing into a meaningful growth lever for Apollo. 

We're already working with some of the best founders and GTM operators on the planet, like Morgan, Timothy, Elana, Sheriff, Manthan, Zack (and more).

Half-Man, Half-Meme, 100% SE

Do you see random memes on your LinkedIn feed? It’s probably me!

Are you getting phone calls from numbers you don't recognize? Me again :)

I'm only half-joking but when I'm not posting memes or cold calling, I'm doing everything I can to improve my business acumen and lead a life of integrity, optimism, and service. 

I'm passionate about making a positive impact in my personal and professional communities. Ultimately, my personal mission is to help others and hopefully make some people laugh along the way.

I gave up YouTube in 2025.

Don’t get me wrong, I love YouTube, but it just felt like a time suck that wasn’t serving me anymore.

As a result, I wound up doing different things in my free time, like:

-Getting back into running 🏃
-Starting a podcast 🎙️
-Vibe coding (my vibes are infinitely better than my coding skills) ⌨️

Ultimately, I got bored more, which caused me to try things I haven’t done before and push myself in ways I haven’t.

This year I am giving up 2 things which I also love:

-Sour candy 🍋
-Energy drinks 🔋

Not all heroes wear capes, some just skip putting gummies in their cart at the grocery store.

Stay posted for updates throughout the year.

Oh yeah, and I’m posting on LinkedIn more this year. Sharing my wins, my losses, and everything in between.

PUMPED TO BE BACK!
