About

I help B2B SaaS teams bring structure to how revenue is planned, tracked, and executed. Over the years at Freshworks, Chargebee, Postman, and now Uniphore, Iโ€™ve mostly stepped in when growth starts outpacing process. Forecasts become hard to trust, territories stop reflecting reality, pipeline looks healthy but does not close, and leaders lack clear answers from the data. My work usually centers around fixing the operating backbone behind revenue teams: > Building reliable forecasting and coverage models > Aligning territories, quotas, and capacity > Setting guardrails around pricing and approvals > Cleaning up lead ownership and lifecycle flow > Creating reporting that leadership can actually use Some tangible outcomes: > Generated over $2M in additional pipeline by improving routing logic > Improved forecast confidence and deal hygiene > Reduced invoice cancellations and revenue leakage > Established repeatable planning frameworks across GTM teams Tools I frequently work with include Salesforce, Clari, Looker, Gong, HubSpot, ZoomInfo, Dealhub, Terret, Zendesk, Jira. I enjoy working with SaaS companies that are growing quickly and need their revenue operations to catch up with their ambitions. Connect with me to learn more about my experience and how I can help your business grow.
