WHAT I'M MOST PROUD OF 

Stand up pre-sales from zero

Discovery playbooks, POC frameworks, demo infrastructure, ROI models, AI-assisted RFP tooling. First solutions hire twice over, and the function scales to support enterprise sales teams.

Turn partnerships into pipeline

Joint GTM with Snowflake and Databricks, clean-room and identity co-sell offerings, three-way alliances with CDP and cloud vendors that opened a dozen new enterprise accounts.

Design & Build what the C-suite needs

Consolidated media data lakehouses, cross-channel attribution, composable CDPs, privacy-first activation: all drawn with clients, turned into value that the CIO and CMO can rely on, then delivered.
