About
I don’t manage marketing budgets; I build revenue engines.With a unique hybrid background in Law (LL.B, LL.M) and Business (MBA), I bridge the gap between ambitious GTM strategies and predictable revenue growth for B2B SaaS companies targeting the US market. My expertise lies in navigating complex, high-trust industries (FinTech, HR-Tech, Legal-Tech) where strategic alignment and credibility are the primary drivers of scale.Proven Impact:- Sales Rate: Reduced sales cycles by 40% (from 125 to 75 days) at Talenya by implementing The Office of the CFO strategy, shifting focus to financial gatekeepers.- Scalable Growth: Delivered 202% growth above target ($1.6M vs. $700K) at Paycor by architecting a regional activation model for strategic partnerships.- Market Authority: Positioned Talenya for acquisition by Paycor through a strategic award-winning technology narrative, securing 5 industry awards in 13 months.My approach is dual-faceted: I possess the 0-to-1 grit required to build foundational GTM machinery from scratch, combined with the 1-to-10 precision needed to optimize and scale operations within a public company environment.Core Capabilities: GTM Architecture | Revenue Alignment | Partnership-Led Growth | Executive Stakeholder Management | US Market Infiltration
