With a career genesis in software development for industries as diverse as Telecom, Manufacturing, and the Public Sector, I evolved to carve a niche in the SAAS Sales arena. My journey with NetSuite began in 2005—a pre-IPO phase—and culminated over a transformative decade where I witnessed and contributed to its meteoric growth from $30m to a staggering $1B+ in revenue. This trajectory allowed me the privilege of being integral to NetSuite's landmark moments, including its IPO in 2007 and the monumental Oracle acquisition valued at $9.3B.As a testament to my adaptability and global perspective, I had the honor of establishing and leading revenue and operational teams across continents—from the shores of Australia to the bustling cities of Canada, USA, Singapore, and Manila. While based in Australia, my tenure as the Managing Director and VP of APAC was particularly notable. I initiated and managed new verticals at NetSuite and enriched the company's footprint in the Asia-Pacific region.Today, my vast reservoir of experience as a SaaS pioneer position me as a strategic advisor to technology companies. My expertise spans Go To Market strategies and Leadership alignment & development. Furthering my commitment to leadership development, I've co-developed a unique Leadership Training Program alongside my esteemed partner, Professor Elisha Schafer. Rooted in behavioral sciences, our program emphasizes the nuances of motivational interviewing and the art of active listening, enabling leaders to resonate with and inspire their teams truly.
