I Run the Systems Behind Revenue Numbers You Can Trust

I run the systems that let B2B companies trust their own revenue numbers: Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, and everything that plugs into them. Fourteen years of it, across Revenue Operations, Sales Operations, and Marketing Operations. I find the root cause before I propose the fix, and I only raise my hand once I have the data to back it up.

Years in Operations Since the 2012 Pivot

I Pivoted Into This Work. On Purpose.

I started out in inside sales, and I'll be honest that it wasn't where I did my best work. What it did do was show me exactly where the friction lives: the CRM that fights the rep, the forecast the system can't actually produce, the process designed by someone who never sat in the seat. So in 2012, after a few years in sales roles, I earned my Salesforce Administrator certification and moved into operations to go fix it. Fourteen years later I still design every system for the person who has to use it at 4:45 on a Friday.

Since then I've built Salesforce orgs from the ground up (one company grew from 4 seats to over 100 while I ran it), led three marketing automation migrations (Pardot to Marketo in six weeks, Marketo to HubSpot in two weeks, HubSpot to Marketo in two months), and built the lead scoring models and ICP definitions that told sales teams which leads were actually worth chasing.

Most recently I was Director of IT and Sales Operations at Provarity, Inc., where I owned the revenue reporting leadership took into board meetings, ran deal desk with Finance and Legal, and handled renewals and partner sourced deals. My scope grew to cover Marketing Ops, IT, and Customer Success and Support, four workstreams at once. I also built an AI workflow that connects Claude to Salesforce and Zoom, so call transcripts turn into drafted opportunity notes, next steps, and budget and timeline signals instead of someone typing it all in by hand. That work, plus leading our SOC 2 Type I and II certification and a 25% cut in operational costs from consolidating our tech stack, is what got my last review rated Outstanding, Far Exceeds Expectations.

I work equally well as a hands-on individual contributor and as a cross-functional leader. I say yes to a lot, which is part of why people hand me the ambiguous problems nobody owns, and I've learned that being explicit about tradeoffs protects the work just as much as taking it on does.

Where I Create the Most Value

From CRM architecture and full funnel reporting to automation and the customer side of the business: the work that makes a company's revenue numbers something leadership can actually act on.

🗺️

GTM Strategy & Operations

Designing and executing go-to-market frameworks that align sales, marketing, and product, from ICP definition to pipeline attribution and ARR forecasting.

⚙️

Marketing Tech Stack Optimization

Auditing, consolidating, and optimizing martech ecosystems. Specializing in Salesforce, Marketo, and HubSpot, plus deep integrations with 20+ third-party platforms.

🔄

CRM Architecture & Automation

Building Salesforce orgs that scale, from initial setup to complex multi-territory configurations, routing logic, and lifecycle automation that reduce manual workload.

📈

Revenue Analytics & Reporting

Creating executive dashboards, pipeline visibility frameworks, and data hygiene programs that give leadership the insight to make fast, confident decisions.

🤝

Customer Success & Support Operations

Standing up support as an operational function: platform selection and migration, workflow and queue design, SLAs and escalation paths, plus the customer documentation and FAQ library that keeps answers consistent.

🛡️

Systems, Security & Compliance

Keeping the revenue stack secure and audit ready: SOC 2 Type I and II, identity and access with Okta, endpoint security with Coro, and retiring legacy infrastructure that costs money and widens the attack surface.

🤖

AI & Workflow Automation

Building on the revenue stack rather than just administering it: API integrations between systems that do not talk, AI assisted automation across six systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Syncari, Datadog, Zendesk), and the Claude, Salesforce, and Zoom build that turns call transcripts into drafted opportunity notes, next steps, and budget and timeline signals.

Professional Experience

Director of IT and Sales Operations
April 2020 to September 2026
Provarity, Inc.

Took on Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, IT Infrastructure, and Customer Success and Support as four parallel workstreams without letting day to day operations slip, the shift from reliable executor to owner that earned an Outstanding, Far Exceeds Expectations rating from the COO.

  • Led the Salesforce marketing projects that connected campaign, lead, and pipeline data, and brought in Bizible for attribution, so Sales, Marketing, and Finance worked from one set of pipeline and source numbers instead of three competing spreadsheets. That gave sales leadership forecasting and pipeline visibility they could actually act on, and it is the reporting leadership brings into Provarity's board meetings.
  • Used that unified Salesforce data to tighten segmentation and point marketing and sales at the same targets, contributing to a 20% increase in revenue.
  • Took Salesforce CPQ from a brand new deployment to the way the sales team quotes deals every day, and ran deal desk with Finance and Legal on pricing and non standard terms, cutting out the friction that had been slowing the field sales team down.
  • Supported the Instynx platform refresh on the data, integration, and access side, catching and resolving issues fast enough that systems dependencies never stalled the broader rollout.
  • Led the team responsible for systems and Salesforce administration, keeping a small group focused on the highest impact work when everyone else needed something today.
  • Stepped into a director level role over Customer Success and Support, the first customer facing scope added to what had been a purely internal portfolio, and took direct ownership of documentation, FAQs, and support operations.

Sr. Marketing Operations Manager
October 2018 to January 2020
PubNub, Inc.
  • Moved marketing automation from Pardot to Marketo in six weeks flat, which meant better automation, cleaner data, and campaigns that could actually ship on schedule.
  • Rebuilt lead scoring from scratch in the new Marketo instance with richer behavioral and demographic signals than I'd used before, and the criteria that came out of it also helped sharpen how we defined our ICP, which shortened the MQL to SQL handoff and pushed more of that pipeline into real opportunities.
  • Worked with Sales Ops and BI/Analytics to build the executive revenue dashboards, and the narrative behind the numbers, that leadership used in business reviews.
  • Rebuilt how demand generation and field marketing handed campaigns back and forth, with Chili Piper handling meeting scheduling in the inbound handoff to sales, so pipeline reaching sales stayed more consistently qualified against ARR targets.
  • Ran the ongoing data hygiene work across Salesforce, Google Analytics, and Marketo.
Digital Marketing Manager
August 2016 to September 2018
Kiteworks (formerly Accellion, Inc.)
  • Ran digital campaigns across paid search, email, social, and direct response in multiple geographies to generate leads and build product awareness.
  • Migrated marketing automation from Marketo to HubSpot in two weeks.
  • Carried that scoring approach into HubSpot and tightened the criteria as I learned what actually predicted a good fit, which cut down on reps spending time chasing leads that were never going to convert.
Marketing Program/Operations Manager
February 2015 to July 2016
Conviva, Inc.
  • Owned campaign strategy, budget, and execution across events, email, SEO/SEM, paid search, social, and telemarketing lead generation programs.
  • Migrated marketing automation from HubSpot to Marketo over two months.
  • Set up the first version of a lead scoring model in the new Marketo instance, weighting things like email opens, site visits, and content downloads against basic firmographic fit, so marketing could hand sales a shorter, more credible list instead of every raw lead.
Sales Operations Manager
2012 to 2015
BlueSnap (formerly Plimus, Inc.)
  • Ran the Salesforce org as it grew from 4 seats to over 100, building the operational and administrative design as Certified Admin and Advanced Admin.
  • Built the executive reporting dashboards, pipeline visualizations, and performance frameworks Inside and Field Sales used to run the business.
2012 · Pivoted into operations
Business Development Representative / Inside Sales Representative
2009 to 2012
BlueSnap (formerly Plimus, Inc.)

Generated and qualified pipeline as an inside sales rep, handing off qualified opportunities to the field sales team.
