About

I started my sales career making cold calls to the US at 4 AM. After building traction, I spent two months in Texas helping set up Eftsure’s sales function, navigating an emerging market and defining our ICP and product-market fit during the MVP stage.Back in Australia, I transitioned into leadership, scaling the SDR team from 3 to 12 high-performers and generating over $2M in monthly pipeline across SMB, Mid-market and Enterprise.I’ve now joined the global team at Rippling, leading our sales growth across Southeast Asia and New Zealand.For me, sales is about execution, ownership, and growth. I lead with a no-excuses, high-accountability mindset, ensuring my team isn’t just hitting targets but setting new standards.Currently building sales teams at Rippling and always looking to connect with others who thrive in high-impact, high-growth environments.
