About

Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built sales teams from the ground up by hiring the right people, onboarding them well, coaching consistently, and holding teams accountable to outcomes over activity. I’ve worked across DSOs, health systems, physician groups, and dental practices, selling technology-enabled solutions in complex environments with multiple decision-makers. What I do best: • Build repeatable SMB sales motions from lead intake to close, including CRM infrastructure, qualification frameworks, and forecasting discipline. • Recruit, develop, and coach high-performing AE teams with clear KPIs, structured deal reviews, and a consistent operating cadence. • Step in as a player-coach on strategic deals while keeping team-wide pipeline health and quota performance on track. • Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Partnerships, Product, and Customer Success to accelerate conversion and improve speed-to-close. • Lead GTM transitions, including pricing model shifts, rebranding, and market expansion, in early-stage and growth-stage environments. I’m most effective in high-accountability, high-ownership environments where the playbook hasn’t been written yet. If you’re building an SMB sales engine in dental or healthcare AI, let’s talk.
