How I think about systems, execution, and building organizations that work.
Enterprise SaaS: Oracle • Zendesk • HubSpot
Startup: CYGNVS (Series A)
Most AI GTM efforts increase output without improving outcomes.
Deal outcomes are driven by execution, not just pipeline.
High-performing GTM is built, not hired.
Increased personalization at scale while reducing manual prospecting time.
Built a GPT-driven workflow using account context and signals to generate high-quality outreach.
Improved deal clarity across stakeholders and reduced misalignment in active opportunities.
Implemented a standardized system for tracking, updating, and communicating pipeline data.
Increased consistency in complex, multi-threaded sales cycles.
Operationalized structured discovery and messaging frameworks to align stakeholders and drive decisions.
I work at the intersection of revenue and systems, helping companies operate more effectively using AI and workflow design.
Most teams focus on tracking work. I focus on how work actually gets done.
My background spans enterprise SaaS at Oracle, Zendesk, and HubSpot, and early-stage startups like CYGNVS. I’ve seen how systems evolve as companies scale and how AI can either improve execution or create more noise depending on how it’s applied.
I build workflows, messaging systems, and AI-assisted processes that improve execution and make decisions clearer.
I’m interested in roles where I can drive operational impact across teams, not just optimize individual deals.
