My final words as we parted ways: "I loved this job. I loved this company. I loved everything we were building". Unfortunately even amazing dreams come to an end. I empathize with the difficulty of making hard startup decisions and am honoured to leave a lasting impact with clients, partners, industry, and all my former colleagues (good luck to all of you in your own journey). Take a lesson from Icarus and fly with caution when getting close to the sun. I'm asking for any leads, assistance, or recommendations. My experience runs deeps from running and operating businesses. Building a go-to-market strategy. Connecting clients and the value for premium solutions. Merging product development with profitability and market gains. Current seeking roles in the C-Suite: VP, Revenue, Operations Open for calls and coffees. Thank you so much for any shares and comments (to help spread awareness)

Hi Friends, I’m looking for your help in finding my next gig! A little over a month ago I was let go. I’ve been working on processing all the emotions that come with a sudden, up-rooting, life change: shock, anger, fear, self-worth, stress, powerlessness, guilt… it’s rough. But also with processing comes gratitude for the opportunities I’ve been given so far, hope that this down period won’t last forever, and excitement at the new opportunities to grow towards. 🌤 I’ve focused most of my career around helping and supporting sales: 👨🏫 In enablement: taking complex processes and concepts and making them digestible and, dare I say, fun?  💡 In management: challenging and guiding teammates to push themselves and grow their skillset ⚙ In operations: identifying gaps, crafting solutions, and building alignment on initiatives that solve problems at their root 🏆 And Across the board: Celebrating our successes 🆘 And now I’m asking for some help and support of my own if you can take a minute with any:  1) Open opportunities or even better a recommendation 2) Connections to recruiters, sales leaders, hiring managers, etc. 3) Boosting this post: please like, share, and comment any memories of our time working together I’m looking for sales enablement, sales operations, sales/business/system analyst, UX design and other similar roles. I’m looking to remain in Austin so local or remote opportunities are best (more than willing to travel but based at home). I appreciate the help and support!

I'm on the lookout for a new permanent or contract role, and any help from my amazing connections and the wider community would be fantastic! My journey in IT started with a bang thanks to a Sponsored Computer Science degree with IBM (apprenticeship). Fast forward, and I've been lucky to gather a wealth of experience, from infrastructure to architecture and coding to consulting, with a knack for picking up new skills lightning fast, there isn't much that phases me.

I thrive on creativity and problem-solving, whether it's brainstorming with clients, mentoring teaming or championing vendors. Here are a few career highlights that showcase my skills: Created a global partner solutions division for Elastic Path, introducing innovative solutions, new partner programs and modern learning approaches. Led successful global pre-sales engagements for big names like QVC, Speedo, Boots and Konica Minolta, driving significant revenue and operational success. Executed alpha and beta programs and delivered enablement to global audiences across business and technology. Transformed technology divisions reducing costs while increasing revenues. Managed critical situations with billion-dollar businesses, resolving issues, building relationships and saving companies millions in the process.
