About

Sales Director with deep experience leading enterprise technology sales teams across Australia, partnering with large, complex organisations to deliver transformation at scale. At MongoDB, I own and grow strategic enterprise sales teams, operating across long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (12–36 months) and engaging regularly with C-suite and executive leadership. I manage a portfolio of high-value enterprise customers, driving multi-million-dollar pipeline development and consistent year-on-year revenue growth across existing and new accounts. My background spans enterprise sales leadership, strategic account management, and business development within multinational IT environments. I have led and influenced deals involving multiple buying groups, complex procurement processes, and regulated operating models, and I’m known for a pragmatic, outcome-led approach, strong executive presence, and the ability to orchestrate cross-functional teams across sales, engineering, and partners. I’m motivated by roles where scale, complexity, and leadership matter — building and mentoring high-performing teams, shaping enterprise go-to-market strategy, and helping large organisations modernise critical systems while delivering predictable, sustainable commercial outcomes.
