About

I work closely with front office leaders to create and execute Go To Market initiatives that drive pipeline and revenue in alignment with the company strategy and goals. I drive the optimisation of Go To Market processes to ensure all stakeholders that contribute to pipeline and revenue are aligned, accountability is clear and pipeline gaps are closed. I break this down into three areas: 1. Pipeline Management: Working with Sales Ops to ensure pipeline management processes and cadences are in place and metrics highlighting clean, healthy and sufficient pipeline are visible and understood. 2. Pipeline Repair: Identify and implement short term initiatives to close short term pipeline gaps in cases where new business deal sales cycles take too long. 3. Pipeline Generation: Run programs to plan, build, launch and execute Sales Plays to generate pipeline and revenue through the coordination of cross-functional teams ensuring themes and messages are consistent across marketing, SDR’s, Sales and beyond to support the customer journey. Strengths: Create and manage sales programs Lead both direct and cross functional teams Align Sales and Marketing to maximise ROI Coach and develop individuals Pipeline process review, optimisation and change management Data driven and data curious Strategic mindset
