- Proven experience leading and developing high-performing sales teams across both new business and expansion motions, including coaching on complex deal strategy, account planning, and executive engagement.
- Deep understanding of enterprise sales cycles, including navigating multi-stakeholder buying groups, long sales cycles, and large deal sizes ($1M+), across both initial land and subsequent expand motions.
- Strong executive presence with the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders (C-suite and line-of-business leaders), building long-term relationships that drive both initial adoption and continued account growth.
- Demonstrated ability to build and manage pipeline at scale across both pursuits and growth opportunities, drive forecast accuracy, and consistently achieve or exceed revenue targets.
- Strong operating cadence, including experience running forecast calls, pipeline reviews, and sales inspections within a structured enterprise sales environment.
