I don't just make calls โ I build pipeline. With 20+ years of enterprise consultative sales experience across financial services (Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, UBS, Allstate), I bring a rare combination of professional credibility, objection handling instinct, and closing discipline to every outreach campaign.
My background spans cold calling, appointment setting, lead generation, and multi-channel outreach across B2B and B2C environments. I've worked with tech firms, marketing agencies, financial services companies, and professional services firms โ consistently delivering booked meetings, qualified pipeline, and revenue-generating conversations.
What separates me from most BD contractors: I also build the AI-powered outreach infrastructure behind the calls. I've developed automated lead generation systems, CRM-integrated outreach sequences, and AI-assisted prospecting pipelines that make human outreach smarter and more targeted. If you want someone who can both run the playbook and improve it, let's talk.

Growing businesses often lose valuable time to repetitive tasks, disconnected systems, manual follow-up, and processes that no longer support the way the company operates.
I help small businesses and teams simplify their operations through AI, workflow automation, CRM systems, and process improvement. I design practical systems that connect tools such as forms, spreadsheets, email, calendars, client intake platforms, and business applications so work moves more efficiently and teams spend less time on manual tasks.
My services include:
โ Workflow automation using Zapier, Make, and Google Apps Script
โ CRM setup, optimization, and automation
โ Client intake and onboarding systems
โ Business process audits and workflow mapping
โ AI integration and AI-powered business assistants
โ Automated follow-up, notifications, and lead management
โ Business intelligence and reporting using Power BI and Tableau
โ AI literacy and adoption support for teams
What makes my approach different is that I look beyond the technology. I take time to understand the business process, identify where time is being lost, and build a solution that is clear, usable, and aligned with the people who will use it every day.
With experience in business operations, project management, recruiting, data analytics, automation, and business ownership, I bring both technical and operational thinking to each project. I also have more than 20 years of experience working in ASL and English bilingual and accessibility-focused environments, which has shaped the way I design systems: intuitive, well documented, and inclusive.
Recent solutions include AI-powered client intake systems, automated customer onboarding, CRM workflows, lead routing, email notifications, reporting processes, and connected business systems.
