Miami-Fort Lauderdale Area
Fun Facts about me: - I've lived in NYC, Buffalo NY, Columbus OH, Nashville TN and now Fort Lauderdale FL. All of these cities are very close and special to my heart and I call them all my home (depending who I'm talking to lol) 🥰 - I speak Albanian, Spanish, a little bit of Greek and Italian and I know 1 word in Arabic and 1 word in Hebrew 🤣 When I’m not talking about SaaS and Pre/Post-Sales, you can find me chasing my toddler around or playing monster truck races with him, spending time by the beach (or at least dreaming about it), binging a Netflix series while having my LinkedIn open (you know you're guilty of that too), or planning my next vacation with my husband 😎 ----- Now on a more serious note... Most Seed through Series A–C SaaS companies struggle to hire Pre-Sales & Post-Sales talent and waste months on bad candidates because most recruiters don't get it. PreSales is still misunderstood. It's been treated like a demo function for too long. It's not support. It's strategy! And hiring for it requires someone who actually gets that. Traditional recruiters flood you with resumes, leaving your hiring team to do the heavy lifting and review 20+ resume's at a time. I help you hire the top 1% talent for your team 3X faster using a targeted search and pre-vetted shortlists...so YOU spend less time filtering and more time closing deals. → 35-day average time to fill → 92% retention rate of someone staying in the role 18+ months after placement → Helping Seed through Series C SaaS/Tech companies If hiring top Sales, Pre-Sales & Post-Sales talent has been a challenge, or you simply need an expert on your side that understands it..
