Establish an operating rhythm that aligns SDRs, Account Executives, Venture Ecosystem Sales, Revenue Strategy & Operations, Partnerships, and Marketing around clear objectives.
Combine proven SaaS sales practices, including outbound prospecting, qualification, deal management, and forecasting, with founder and investor engagement, events, and portfolio programs.

Coach sales leaders and individual contributors, using performance reporting and market feedback to identify opportunities for improvement.
Drive customer outcomes beyond the initial sale by supporting strong activation and adoption across payments, cards, deposits, and broader financial operations.
Partner with SDR leadership, Revenue Strategy & Operations, Partnerships, Marketing, Product, and post-sales teams to remove obstacles and accelerate growth.
Lead hiring, talent development, workflow improvements, and organizational scaling as the startup business expands.
Bring customer, competitive, and market insights into strategic decisions and continuously adapt the sales motion based on what is working.
