After 6 years in sales, I made the leap to marketing.
I joined Gong in 2017 as the second AE where I closed over $1M+ ARR and helped build the mid-market playbook.
Two years later, I moved my desk across the office and became Gong’s 6th marketer.
As Gong’s Head of Content Strategy I’ve helped build and scale a world-class content engine. But my favorite part is leading a team of phenomenal content marketers responsible for brand building and revenue growth.

I Help Startup Founders Scale Revenue.
I've seen that there’s a big problem - companies don't understand how to create revenue goals that are realistic.
The problem creates a waterfall of poor decision making and the team that has to execute on the “un-hittable” goals suffers…and ultimately layoffs occur.
I’ve witnessed these problems for a long time through consulting. My team did the hard work of going into dozens of companies and helping them:
--> Establish realistic revenue goals
--> Build the revenue infrastructure
--> Hire the team to accomplish the goals
We soon realized this was an antiquated solution. 90% of tech companies are exactly the same - unrealistic goals and massive misses of revenue attainment.
We wanted and needed to solve this issue. Too many platforms simply report against whatever bad data you put into it. We struggled to find a platform that let you know if your goal was realistic to begin with. So we launched Praction, the Revenue Guidance Platform.
Think Google Maps for Revenue Targeting!
So check out our site or setup some time with me to figure out how you can get your organization on the path to a realistic revenue plan.
