About

Professional summary

I am a GTM Engineer and Marketing Operations professional with over eight years of experience in market research, CRM management, lead development, and revenue operations across SaaS and management consulting environments.

I build the systems behind pipeline generation, including attribution, enrichment, routing, reporting, data hygiene, and AI-driven revenue workflows. My work connects marketing, sales, demand generation, partnerships, and operations teams through scalable processes and integrations.

I have extensive hands-on experience with HubSpot architecture, CRM migrations, workflow automation, webhooks, APIs, lead and account enrichment, and dashboard development. I focus on making data reliable, actionable, and accessible for revenue teams.

I use tools such as HubSpot, Clay, Bitscale, Make, Zapier, Claude, OpenAI, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Salesforce, and Customer.io to automate repetitive work and improve lead quality. I have also built workflows for intent signals, pre-call intelligence, closed-lost re-engagement, and event lead tracking.

I have led lead-development and marketing research teams, established research functions from the ground up, and mentored LDR professionals. I combine operational discipline with a strong understanding of ICP development, TAM analysis, account research, and sales enablement.

I am particularly interested in GTM engineering, marketing operations, revenue systems, and AI-enabled automation roles where I can design scalable infrastructure that improves pipeline visibility and commercial execution.
