HOW I WORKIn my daily work, I use the same philosophy in SAAS sales and marketing, operations, business development – everything. First, I focus on understanding the client’s needs, then I align our teams in that direction, and finally I improve the speed of execution. Together, we create measurements and disciplines around that, but by putting the customer first, that’s what makes it a win-win. On one hand, focus, alignment and speed are just steps in a process. But what makes me successful is how I communicate these steps. I think everyone has a unique communication style, and I figure out how they need to be approached to feel motivated. Whether it is hearing praise or expectations, I listen, understand, and communicate to each person on an individual level. For me, this has spelled success for the organization and for my part in itMY EXPERIENCEI am a results-driven sales and marketing professional with 20+ years of global B2B and B2C experience in sales, operations, P & L management, marketing, business development and strategic planning.
