Thank you for visiting my profile 👋🏻 A little about me to get us acquainted: Growing up, I was not guided in the traditional sense. Early on, I learned to trust my instincts and figure things out on my own. That upbringing gave me a deep sense of determination and a belief that, with the right mindset and effort, anything is possible. It’s shaped how I approach obstacles—seeing them not as roadblocks, but as opportunities to grow. I didn’t follow the traditional college route, but instead, I jumped straight into the workforce, gaining real-world experience across industries like advertising sales, IT recruitment, and IT outsourcing. Over time, I found my passion in SaaS sales. My journey has been driven by resilience, resourcefulness, and a focus on learning through doing. Many doors were closed to me and this instilled the initiative to act! Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in full-cycle, solution-based sales, with a particular focus on AI, Martech, Proptech, Insurtech, and Customer Experience SaaS. At Telligent (later Verint), I built a track record of success, closing large multi-year SaaS deals, including a $500k+ contract with Fortune 500 clients like ARM, Rabobank, and Sophos. At Turtl, I secured new net logos, led multi-year ARR deals of £50k–£200k+, and topped the sales leaderboard multiple times. 📈 I’m someone who thrives on growth. Whether it’s getting stuck into a tough problem, thinking about the bigger picture, or finding new ways to level up, I’m always pushing myself to stay ahead of the curve. My problem-centric approach means I focus on uncovering core business challenges and building strategic solutions that drive long-term success. With the rapid pace of change in technology, I believe staying relevant means constantly evolving—and I’m always up for that challenge. Recently, I’ve embraced the power of Generative AI in roles at Fifth Dimension AI and OpenDialog.AI, using cutting-edge technology to improve customer engagement and streamline productivity. As I look ahead, I’m excited to bring my strategic and consultative sales approach to an innovative organisation with ambitious goals and a big market opportunity. Outside of work, my family is my anchor—my best friend and wife, our three kids, and our dog. I’m also a huge Liverpool FC fan, and you’ll often find me running, hitting the gym, or spending time with the people who matter most. I’m genuinely excited about the future of sales with AI eliminating all the mundane and boring work that keeps us away from actually helping customers to solve business problems!
