Experience

  • Zapier ()
    • Sr. Manager, Revenue Enablement
      Jan 2026 - Present · 7 mos

      I joined Zapier as the founding member of the Revenue Enablement team and built it from the ground up. Over the past three years I've scaled enablement to support a 7× growth in our GTM org, cut new-hire ramp time in half, and rolled out MEDDPIC and Command of the Message across the full revenue org. One of my favorite things I've built here: AI-powered coaching workflows using Zapier automation that took weekly rep coaching from zero to 5×, with real-time deal risk surfacing and in-the-moment feedback. Three promotions later, I now lead a team of three and own the full enablement strategy, reporting directly to our Chief Sales Officer.

  • Sr. Trainer, Sales at T-Mobile
    Jun 2017 - Mar 2019 · 1 yr 10 mos

    • Facilitated new hire onboarding, sales, and leadership development classes across the state of Tennessee by utilizing both in person and virtual classroom mediums. • Analyzed our training processes and results to create efficiencies in scheduling, class size and retention. Because of this I was able to increase the number of training classes per month with less employee turnover. • Compiled data across several platforms to better equip our field to speak to team members about training. This data led to an increase in class enrollments, sales, and employee satisfaction.
