About

At Salesforce, I focus exclusively on acquiring net new customers - partnering with C-Suite leaders to shape digital transformation strategies and position Salesforce as the growth engine of the Agentic Era through our Customer 360. My approach is POV-led and insight-driven, combining outbound engagement with orchestration of complex multi-stakeholder sales cycles alongside Core AEs, SEs and partners. Prior to Salesforce, I spent several years at Yext, where I was a multiple President’s Club winner. I led both new logo acquisition and the expansion of install accounts, helping brands unify their digital presence and deliver measurable growth. That mix of hunting and farming taught me how to build long-term partnerships while consistently delivering net new revenue. With over a decade in SaaS sales, I’ve developed a track record of navigating competitive markets, engaging executives, and delivering results in both new logo and expansion roles. Always open to connecting with peers and leaders who are driving digital transformation.
