I am a seasoned and driven sales pro who crossed over from the technical side 20 years ago and never lost my love of learning new things. I have pretty sound knowledge of data engineering, machine learning, distributed computing, middleware, databases, cloud stuff & software development.

​

I have successfully sold developer tools, middleware, in-memory distributed platforms and cloud orchestration to large enterprise customers, including more banks than I care to remember. I was the first hire in EMEA for a US startup, building & leading a team that closed over $6M in new revenue in just over 2 1/2 years. 

​

Early stage startups are my true love. I suppose it's the excitement of shaping the story, translating complex ideas into easily understood concepts, and accelerating revenue growth.

​

And everything I do is underpinned by an integrity built from true grit.
