Overview
I dropped out of college to cold call into enterprise accounts for $10 an hour. For two years, that's what I earned. The real value was working alongside my CEO, who kept his door open so I could hear and learn everything I could. Then he let me start selling and I was hooked. Today, I help startups raise funding, grow revenue, and maximize valuation for acquisition. As an expert in the B2B SaaS data space, I also consult hedge funds and other entities looking for industry insights, the competitive landscape, GTM strategy, and market trends.

The real value was working alongside my CEO, who kept his door open so I could hear and learn everything I could. Then he let me start selling and I was hooked.

All time company records I held at Seamless.AI 1. Profitability 2. Close Rate 3. Quota Attainment Outside of work, I enjoy golf, poker, and exploring the world.
