Building the systems behind revenue.

Sales and GTM operations, with a soft spot for clean data, sharp dashboards, and the tooling that turns chaos into closed deals.

About

I currently work at Fastly, where I sit close enough to the engineering org to speak its language and close enough to revenue to know where the leaks are. Most of my career has been spent translating between those two worlds — instrumenting funnels, cleaning the systems, and making sure the people doing the selling have what they need to win.

Outside of work, I'm in Denver with my partner and our young one. I listen to a lot of hip hop and dubstep on a hi-fi system I probably spent too long tuning, and I'm usually mid-game on something ambitious.

Why hire me

i.
Systems thinking by default. I see GTM as a connected machine — data flow, handoffs, attribution, comp — not a stack of disconnected tools. I architect first, then build.
ii.
Fluent across the stack. Comfortable in Salesforce, comfortable in the warehouse, comfortable in the spreadsheet when that's what the moment calls for. I bridge the ops, RevOps, and analytics conversations that usually require three different people.
iii.
Technical fluency from a real product. Years at Fastly mean I can sit in a room with engineers, understand the product, and translate it into pipeline-relevant motion. That shows up in better segmentation, sharper qualification, and cleaner forecasts.
iv.
Curiosity that asks why three times. Before reaching for a query or a Salesforce flow, I want to understand what the question is actually trying to answer. Less firefighting, more root cause.
