7+ years in software sales and GTM, including Shopify. My experience is rooted in real-world execution: I’ve made (and received) thousands of cold calls and emails, built pipeline, managed stakeholders, and closed complex deals. I know GTM execution well, and I’m here to round out my skillset with GTM engineering, learning how to build scalable systems, automations, and workflows that create leverage. Excited to learn from such a high-caliber group and contribute a sales/revops perspective where I can.
