Hire exceptional talent, identifying people who combine technical acumen with adaptability, ambition with humility, and individual drive with team-first mindset. Use predictive hiring, skills assessments, and rigorous interviewing to raise talent density.

Coach reps through call reviews, role plays, and real-time guidance, and participate on client meetings when required. Guide Account Executives through complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (CISO, CIO, procurement, legal) Foster a 'learn from failures' environment where reps and the team experiment boldly, iterate quickly, and extract lessons that compound over time. Hold the team accountable for pipeline build, deal efficacy, and quota attainment while maintaining psychological safety. Drive urgency and execution without burning people out.

Set aggressive but achievable targets, ensure consistent quarter-to-quarter progress, and drive pipeline discipline from day one. Establish and operationalize a repeatable sales process: define handoffs, qualify rigorously, forecast with confidence, and execute with precision. Use CRM and sales tools (Salesforce, Gong, ZoomInfo, Rattle) to create visibility and accountability. Develop expertise in cybersecurity, identity, and password management landscapes — understand our buyers, competitive positioning, and market dynamics deeply. Collaborate closely with Sales Development, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Marketing to align strategy, eliminate friction, and maximize conversion at every stage of the funnel.
