GTM Strategy, Ops & AI @ Zapier

San Diego, California, United States

About

15+ years leading GTM Operations and Demand Generation functions. Spent the last 4 years building and scaling RevOps at Zapier. Now I am Director of GTM Innovation, which is a fancy way of saying I get to figure out how to do AI-powered GTM in practice. I write about what we're shipping, tools, workflows, outcomes. What is surprising, what doesn't work. If you're a GTM leader navigating the AI transition, I'm probably posting about things you're actively thinking about. DM me if you're trying to build something similar and / or want to see what's possible with Zapier.
