Success story
I entered a small sales organization designed for high touch engagements. I worked with leadership to clarify and refine the strategy, designed and implemented a target operating model with multiple phases to allow for sustainable growth, developed and implemented operational systems optimized for scale and future growth, and provided mentorship to the VPs of Sales across the globe. Through my architecture, the organization is now over 400 sellers and exceeding their revenue projections YOY.
