About

I’m a high-performing sales professional specializing in Total Rewards, compensation strategy, job architecture, and digital workforce solutions. At Korn Ferry, I partner with organizations to design competitive, equitable, and data-driven rewards programs that attract, retain, and motivate top talent. In my current role, I lead full-cycle sales execution by combining strategic prospecting with high-velocity deal management in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. I consistently generate pipeline, close multiple deals monthly, and deliver against quota while building trusted relationships with senior HR and business leaders. I work closely with CHROs and executive stakeholders to solve complex workforce challenges, aligning talent strategy to broader business objectives through a consultative, platform-led approach rather than point solutions. Key areas of focus include: - New logo acquisition and account expansion - High-volume pipeline generation and deal closure - Selling integrated HR technology and SaaS platforms - Executive stakeholder engagement and multi-threading - Translating talent strategy into measurable business impact - Advising organizations on compensation, rewards, and workforce transformation strategies
