• Consistent track record of accurate roll-up forecasting and disciplined pipeline management
• Experienced in running structured deal reviews and inspecting pipeline with a repeatable qualification framework (e.g. MEDDIC/MEDDPICCC), with a track record of coaching reps to improve deal quality and close rates
• Demonstrated history of building high-performing teams that hit and exceed revenue targets with strong seller participation across the board
• Deep experience selling and leading teams that sell six-figure contracts into en
