## Headline

Revenue Strategy & GTM Operations Leader \| AI\-enabled forecasting, pipeline visibility, pricing & onboarding

## About

$48M in annualized revenue recovered\. Forecast accuracy improved from 28% to 12\.7% MAPE\. 50% quarterly revenue growth through GTM redesign\. Churn reduced from 72% to 26% in 6 months\. These aren't inherited results — they're systems I built from zero in organizations that had never formalized the function\. I'm a revenue strategy and operations leader with 9\+ years embedded in CROs' and founders' offices across fintech, agritech SaaS, and global hospitality\. My work sits at the intersection of go\-to\-market strategy, revenue operations, and data\-driven decision\-making — diagnosing the root causes others miss, designing scalable systems, and translating executive vision into measurable revenue outcomes\. What I do differently: I challenge prevailing narratives with data\. When an entire organization spent months fixing sales handoffs, I proved the real bottleneck was risk\-review delays — unlocking $1\.2M in deferred revenue and cutting enterprise onboarding time 40%\. When a one\-size\-fits\-all GTM motion was failing, I built a 3\-segment market model from 100\+ customer interviews that delivered 50% revenue growth in a single quarter\. When a CEO needed a second revenue engine, I took an idea from validation through unit economics to 3X its initial target in 9 months\. Core capabilities: → Revenue forecasting & scenario planning \(investor\-grade frameworks, board\-level communication\) → GTM strategy & market segmentation \(ICP definition, pricing experimentation, channel optimization\) → Revenue operations & analytics \(SQL, Salesforce, QuickSight — unifying siloed systems into single sources of truth\) → AI\-augmented workflows \(LLM\-based research, competitive intelligence, and report automation — 60% efficiency gains\) → Cross\-functional alignment across 6\+ team organizations through influence without direct authority → P&L ownership \($7\.5M\+\), team scaling \(50→150\), and customer success function building \(NPS 7→42\+\) I operate best in high\-growth, ambiguity\-rich environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet — Series A through Series C stage companies, PE\-backed growth inflections, and enterprise transformations where someone needs to build the revenue operating system from scratch\. Currently: GTM & Revenue Strategy, CRO's Office at Cashfree Payments \(Series B fintech, $3B\+/month enterprise GMV\)\. If you're building or fixing a revenue engine and need someone who combines analytical rigor with cross\-functional execution, let's talk\. Open to Revenue Strategy, GTM Operations, RevOps, Chief of Staff, and Customer Success leadership roles\.
