About

I helped build Google Cloud from startup to $106B backlog. Now I'm building something even bigger: activated leaders who change the world. For 9 years, I was part of the founding sales team that transformed Google Cloud into an enterprise powerhouse. I introduced Fortune 500 companies to cloud transformation, architected strategic partnerships, and drove the adoption that fueled unprecedented growth. But here's what I learned scaling one of tech's biggest success stories: The companies we build are only as powerful as the leaders we become. What I Do Now: ► Keynote Speaking & Workshops: Energizing audiences and teams with insights from the frontlines of hyper-growth and transformation ► Executive Coaching: Partnering with leaders to expand their impact beyond corporate boundaries (lilahjones.com) ► The Activated Leader™ Movement: Building a community of leaders who refuse to settle for anything less than their full potential ► Fractional CRO: Activating Organizations through executive sales leadership My Expertise: • Hyper-growth Strategy: Scaled enterprise sales from zero to billions • Transformational Leadership: Navigated corporate complexity while maintaining authentic impact • Strategic Partnerships: Built relationships that moved markets • Executive Presence: Influenced at the highest levels of tech's most innovative companies Why I Left Google: Not because I had to, but because I chose to. After helping build something extraordinary, I realized my next chapter was helping others do the same, whether inside corporate walls or beyond them. I believe every leader has untapped potential waiting to be activated. My mission is to help you find it, fuel it, and turn it into lasting impact. The Activated Leader Philosophy: Your career is not your calling. Your job is not your identity. Your true legacy lies in the influence you build, the lives you transform, and the courage you show when choosing growth over comfort. Let's Connect If: • You're ready to expand your leadership beyond your current role • You want strategies and sales support from someone who's built at an enterprise scale • You believe in creating impact that outlasts any single company • You're done playing small with your potential Work with me: lilahjones.com Join the movement: The Activated Leader Newsletter https://www.lilahjones.com/newsletter-subscribe From building billion-dollar businesses to building unstoppable leaders.

I run your revenue engine 10-15 hours a week while training your internal leaders to run it without me using all of the best practices from my channel and sales experience in Google Cloud. Call it "build and transfer." We get clear on what "great" looks like for your business. Then we build the revenue engine: Go-to-market strategy that differentiates you Sales process that matches how buyers buy Pipeline management that reveals truth Forecasting you can trust Team structure that scales Your internal leaders build this WITH me, learning the strategic thinking behind every decision. As we progress, your leaders start running plays independently. Making strategic decisions. Coaching their teams. Seeing around corners. I transition from operator to advisor. By the end: You've got a revenue engine that works AND leaders who run it. I exit. You scale without me.
