About

I am a Vice President of Field Operations in the high-tech industry, partnering with global sales leaders to design and execute GTM strategies that accelerate revenue, improve sales productivity, and strengthen customer value realization. Over my career, I’ve held roles “surrounding the customer” across direct sales, marketing, sales enablement, revenue operations, product management, strategic programs, and special projects, spanning large multinationals, venture-backed startups, and PE-backed mid-sized companies. I’ve sold and helped teams sell hardware, software, SaaS, and solutions, and supported the shift from traditional capex models to subscription and ARR. I’ve built and scaled global sales enablement and GTM readiness functions, led strategic planning and special programs, and driven initiatives such as consumption pricing and true-forward operations, business value assessments and value frameworks, and SDR organizational rebuilds that align operations with growth objectives. Today at Infoblox, I focus on helping a global sales organization drive results through field operations, strategic programs, messaging, value consulting, sales strategy, and new product introduction—with a consistent emphasis on execution discipline and measurable impact.
