About

The most successful revenue engines aren’t built on siloed teams. They are built on seamless, automated operational plumbing. I am a Revenue Operations (RevOps) Leader specializing in post-sales infrastructure, AI-driven workflow automation, and Net Revenue Retention (NRR). Over my career, I’ve sat at the intersection of sales velocity and customer retention, transforming manual, disconnected processes into predictable revenue engines that scale. My philosophy: A customer's journey doesn't end at the signature. I design the data pipelines, CRM architectures, and AI automations that connect Sales, Operations, and Customer Success. This eliminates friction, reduces customer Time-to-Value (TTV), and protects Gross Revenue Retention (GRR). By freeing teams from manual tracking, I allow them to focus on what actually moves the needle: customer adoption and account expansion. Core Pillars of My Work: Cross-Functional Program Leadership: Served as Project Leader for the executive-sponsored "Elevate the Experience" initiative, aligning Quality, Logistics, and Service to optimize post-sales workflows, improve on-time delivery, and elevate CSAT. AI & Workflow Automation: Deployed automated account triage and digital communication tools that slashed a massive regional service backlog by 68% and eliminated hours of weekly manual spreadsheets. Predictive Customer Health Modeling: Architected custom CRM health-scoring models based on product adoption depth, customer touchpoints, and renewal proximity—dropping mid-market churn from 18% to 11%. Scale & Revenue Predictability: Built full-funnel outbound engines and post-sales CS organizations from the ground up, establishing the playbooks and CRM forecasting dashboards that drove a 228% renewal turnaround and scaled ARR from $7M to $23M. My RevOps Tech & Systems Stack: CRM Architecture & Admin: Hands-on architect and admin across HubSpot, Salesforce (Sales & Service Cloud), Zoho, and SugarCRM (specializing in pipeline workflows, automated lifecycle triaging, and forecasting reporting). AI & Revenue Intelligence: Gong.io, SiftHub, ZoomInfo Copilot, Read AI, Fathom, Fireflies.ai, Enterpret, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. CS Platforms & Engagement: Gainsight, ChurnZero, Vitally, Totango, Planhat, Catalyst, Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo.io. I thrive in high-growth or transitioning environments where systems need to be built, unified, and adopted to scale revenue. Let’s connect to discuss how to optimize your post-sales tech stack, align your sales-to-CS handoff, or leverage AI to protect your NRR.
