About

I have experience across B2B sales, inbound sales, presales, sales operations and market research, with a focus on FinTech and technology-driven businesses. My experience includes understanding customer requirements, qualifying leads, supporting product discussions and demos, managing CRM and sales pipelines, conducting market and competitor research, and supporting sales teams through different stages of the sales cycle. I enjoy working at the intersection of customers, products and business growth—understanding what the customer needs and helping teams turn those opportunities into meaningful business conversations. I'm currently exploring independent consulting opportunities where I can support startups and growing businesses with sales, presales, research and sales operations.
