About

Professional summary

I am an outbound B2B sales professional with more than five years of sales experience and over three years focused on prospecting, pipeline generation, and qualification.

As the founding outbound hire at Fleet, a commuter benefits SaaS startup, I built the direct-to-employer outbound motion from the ground up. I developed ICP targeting, messaging, call scripts, email and LinkedIn sequences, and AE handoff processes.

I have made more than 15,000 cold calls and consistently execute high-volume, multi-channel outreach. My approach combines phone, email, LinkedIn, trigger-based prospecting, and A/B testing to improve connection, reply, and meeting outcomes.

I am experienced in BANT qualification, objection handling, discovery, consultative selling, territory management, and account segmentation. I have supported opportunities from initial outreach through late-stage pipeline, including enterprise prospects.

I have managed outbound programs for multiple clients across industries, including MSP and IT services, while maintaining separate territories, account lists, lead-generation targets, and pipelines. I use sales technology and AI-assisted workflows to improve prospect research, call review, coaching, and execution.

I am interested in continuing to grow in B2B SaaS sales, business development, and account executive-oriented roles where I can build repeatable outbound systems and create qualified pipeline.
