My career began in the Qualtrics basement when I joined Ryan Smith, CEO and the founding team as employee #15. Building the first corporate sales team, growing the company across the globe and creating a business model that values and invests in employee career progression brought some of the greatest joy I’ve ever experienced.
I was at Forethought for just over a year where we grew revenue 20x and grew the team from 17 to 120 fantastic human beings.
Now I spend my time as CEO and Chairman of the Board with DataBased and advising the top CEOs in tech as they build their business.
Working with world-class leaders and the greatest minds in tech inspires me to do more good. I am deeply invested in building environments focused on three core elements:
Recruit the best in the world to come and work together.
Retain the best people with a culture, career plan, and lifestyle they take pride in.
Train and individually develop lifelong learners
As a data-driven thought leader with a proven track record of operational excellence within sales, it’s important to win with metrics. DataBased is a sales engine evaluator that I use as I mentor tech founders from all over the world.
