I am a hands-on sales and operations leader with over 30 years of experience building, optimizing, and scaling revenue-generating functions across SaaS, AI, wellness, marketing, real estate, and logistics industries.
I specialize in Sales Operations, Team Leadership, Training & Coaching, Process Optimization, and Monetization Strategy. My superpower is the rare ability to both lead at a strategic level and execute at a high level — personally closing deals, building systems, training teams, and driving measurable revenue growth.
I’ve consistently grown revenue by leading and working alongside sales teams, designing scalable processes, developing high-performing people, and optimizing operations from the ground up. Whether stepping in as a fractional COO, Sales Ops leader, or hands-on closer and coach, I deliver results through clear systems, accountability, strong mentorship, and relentless execution.
Core Expertise

Training & Coaching: Creating playbooks, delivering training programs, and coaching reps to high performance
Process Improvement & SOP Development: Documenting and streamlining operations for efficiency and scalability

Key Achievements
Sales Team Leadership & Revenue Growth
Led and actively worked alongside a 35-person inside sales team at a software solutions company, directly contributing to growing annual revenue from $2.1M to $4.55M in just one year through live selling, coaching, process optimization, and KPI management.
In the high-end portrait art industry, personally handled all initial sales and appointment setting, then built and trained a 10-person team from the systems I created. Scaled monthly revenue from $10K to over $310K while remaining actively involved in both sales and operations.
Operations & Monetization Leadership (COO Role)
As Chief Operating Officer, led monetization strategy and operational optimization initiatives. Conducted comprehensive audits, redesigned revenue streams and workflows, and implemented changes that delivered rapid impact.
Reduced operational expenditures by over $200,000 in the first two months by eliminating inefficiencies in vendor contracts, tooling, and redundant workflows.
Increased annual revenue by $1,000,000 within six months by streamlining production flows and optimizing resource allocation in an AI model business.
Built scalable processes and documentation, then successfully transitioned day-to-day execution to internal teams, allowing me to move on to the next high-impact project.
Training, Coaching & Systems Building
Developed and delivered training content, SOPs, sales playbooks, and onboarding programs that enable teams to close more efficiently and consistently.
Transitioned a company from external dependency to full internal capacity by hiring, training, and documenting all core sales and operational processes.
Created instructional materials (videos, live sessions, customized playbooks) and provided direct coaching that improved individual and team performance.
Hands-on Sales Expertise
Over 30 years driving revenue through cold calling, warm outbound, appointment setting, and full-cycle sales.
Experienced with one-call closes (up to $7K) and complex, multi-touch high-ticket/enterprise sales (up to $1M).
Proficient in HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Google Sheets, Zoom, and VoIP systems.
Leadership Style
