About

Embarking on a Tech Adventure: My journey in the tech industry began at Thumbtack, a dynamic platform reinventing how customers connect with local service professionals. Here, I honed my skills in streamlining operations and enhancing user experiences. Scaling New Heights: At Motive (formerly KeepTruckin), I embraced the challenge of building and leading a robust Sales Development Representative (SDR) team. Our efforts were pivotal, contributing a staggering $15 million in annual recurring revenue. Venturing into AI: Scale AI offered a new frontier, where I led the expansion of a quality specialist team and managed a vast network of remote contractors. This role was crucial in providing the training data essential for AI model development. Crafting Excellence at ClickUp: Joining ClickUp marked a significant milestone. I established and grew the customer support team from the ground up, turning it into a multifaceted unit integral to the company's diverse operations, including analytics, finance, sales, and talent acquisition. Let's Connect: My career is a testament to the transformative power of technology and strategic team building. If you're navigating the exciting tech landscape or passionate about driving growth through innovation, I'm eager to connect and exchange insights!
