A little about myself

Sales Leader & Enterprise Account Executive with 15 years of experience bringing new products to market at 6 Series A startups. Typically, I'm one of the first sales hires. I have a passion for helping customers adopt & be successful with new technologies within OSS, the cloud, & security (AppSec & CloudSec).

Some startups have been wildly successful like Acquia (sold for $1B) and Snyk ($7.4B valuation). I saw these companies go from $0 to $100M and $5M to $125M+ in 3-5 years. Both were wild rides and learned a ton about what it takes to scale a venture (and what "really good" looks like).

In my free time:
