About

Professional summary

I am a strategic revenue and alliance operations executive with more than 20 years of experience building and selling to global partner ecosystems, leading enterprise go-to-market programs, and scaling cloud and AI-powered customer experience solutions.

I specialize in strategic alliances, system integrator and service-provider partnerships, vertical market expansion, and joint co-sell strategies. My experience spans financial services, healthcare and compliance, retail, telecommunications, and other regulated enterprise environments.

I personally lead complex cloud migration and UCaaS/CCaaS sales pursuits, partnering with C-suite stakeholders and cross-functional teams across sales, product, engineering, legal, and operations. I am experienced in deal desk governance, pipeline analytics, contract negotiation, and sales enablement.

At Ooma, I transformed a sales channel to focus on service providers, while targeting and landing the first ILEC service provider to integrate and sell Ooma's service suite. At Dubber, I helped drive 180% year-over-year revenue growth in FY24 and 140% in FY23 through strategic service-provider and SI partnerships for enterprise Voice AI solutions. At TELUS, I led the RingCentral partnership and supported landmark, multi-year enterprise agreements and large-scale cloud migrations. Deep knowledge in creating and executing the sell-to, sell-through and sell-with (co-sell) models.

I bring an MBA in IT/MIS, a CISSP certification, and a track record of transforming sales execution, improving conversion visibility, and creating scalable GTM models that accelerate ARR growth.
