Chief Revenue Officer | Company Builder ***Hiring to Grow Team***

Los Altos, California, United States

About

I help build companies that change categories — by building teams that change themselves. For more than 20 years in B2B software, I’ve focused on recruiting and developing entrepreneurial leaders who aren’t satisfied with the way things are. Together, we’ve challenged conventions, refined the art and science of go-to-market, and built customer-obsessed organizations designed to grow. My philosophy is simple: Get 1% better every day. Put customers at the center of everything. Win and lose as one team. Hold the bar high. Make the journey unforgettable. I’m driven by the energy of company building — the messy, creative, high-accountability process of turning belief into results. The best part? Watching great people discover they’re capable of more than they thought. Always open to connecting with builders, operators, and people who want to do meaningful work at meaningful scale.
