About

With over seven years of experience in revenue management and SaaS, I specialize in leading revenue strategy and planning within high-growth environments. As a Senior Revenue Operations Manager at Personio, I oversee company-wide revenue planning, including MRR targets, pipeline coverage, productivity metrics, and forecasting methodology. Partnering with Revenue and Finance leadership, my focus is on driving clarity in strategic decision-making and ensuring data-driven insights inform leadership at every level. My expertise spans GTM planning, quota and territory design, headcount modeling, and forecasting governance. I leverage tools such as SQL, Snowflake, and Tableau to build scalable revenue models, turning complex data into actionable strategies. Committed to analytical rigor and operational excellence, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to define metrics, identify risks, and deliver clear, executive-ready insights that shape impactful decisions.
