  • Elevate Digital
    Senior Talent Advisor
    Elevate Digital May 2021 - Jun 2023
    Cornelius, Nc, Us
    I joined the company at the invitation of my long-time friend and the co-founder, Rich Bywater. After years of vocalizing his desire to have me join him, our paths finally converged when Elevate needed leadership in their recruiting team. Starting as a Recruiter, I quickly demonstrated my value with results and was promoted within a few months to Talent Advisor, and then to Senior Talent Advisor shortly thereafter.I was managing both existing and new massive accounts and driving significant revenue growth. However, our largest clients underwent significant restructurings leading to a rapid downsizing at Elevate. Unfortunately, I was among those affected. Although it was the first time in my life I faced a layoff, the experience taught me resilience and the importance of adaptability in a dynamic industry.
  • Sky Solutions, Llc
    Chief Revenue Officer
    Sky Solutions, Llc Feb 2020 - Apr 2021
    Herndon, Virginia, Us
    At Sky Solutions, I shaped and led the Sales and Marketing functions for this Digital Consulting Firm, more than doubling the company's size in 2020, growing from $10M to $26M in revenue (150% growth).To double revenue each year and achieve $100M in 5 years, I needed to build the sales team and marketing infrastructure from scratch.With a $300K budget, including for salaries and creative projects, I hired a Business Development Director, Lead Generation Analysts, and a Marketing Analyst, who was pivotal in completing the redesign of the website and eventually took ownership. The logo was also revamped, and marketing materials were rebranded to better promote core capabilities and service offerings. I also revamped the compensation plan for the sales team.While the marketing team I hired executed on the comprehensive marketing strategy I devised, I conducted interviews with top consultants and clients, documenting success stories that demonstrated our core competencies, and strengthened client relationships while generating new business opportunities. I also managed and enhanced relationships with technology platform partners and government systems integrators, such as GDIT, Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton, and CGI Federal, expanding our business and opening new growth avenues. Through bi-monthly calls with PEGA's Director of Partnerships, we achieved Silver, and later top-tier Gold, Partner status.
  • Quantinuum
    Managing Director
    Quantinuum Oct 2018 - Feb 2020
    Broomfield, Colorado, Us
    Working closely with Ilyas Khan, whose inspiration and connection with Stephen Hawking fueled Cambridge Quantum Computing's (CQC's) focus on quantum software, my role evolved from establishing a U.S. foothold for this leading U.K.-based quantum computing company to driving global business development and leading initiatives that significantly impacted our growth trajectory.After seamlessly setting up business banking, payroll, and benefits for the U.S., I managed a high-performing business development team, laying the foundation for sustained growth and market penetration. I focused on engaging with leading technology partners, identifying opportunities to present our quantum software capabilities and our quantum-augmented cybersecurity platform, and exploring collaborative opportunities. One such place we presented was at the Quantum 2 Business Conference (Q2B), the premier industry conference, where a key introduction to a Honeywell engineer took place that eventually led to deeper conversations with the CEO of Honeywell Quantum Solutions. These discussions developed into a significant partnership and, eventually, a merger, which created the company now known as Quantinuum.
  • Xscion Solutions
    Sales Director
    Xscion Solutions Jul 2014 - Sep 2018
    Mclean, Va, Us
    I chose xScion for the opportunity to work with Barry Dwyer, the co-founder, and to leverage my sales expertise to help him grow the company. Initially joining as a Client Partner for Financial Services, I was later promoted to Director of Sales. The Evolent Health account had limited success previously to it being assigned to me. Through strategic networking and client relationship management, I grew the account to $2M in the first year and $3M in the second year. By spearheading the response to a critical RFP, which involved strategic partnerships, aligning our capabilities with client initiatives, and executing a comprehensive proposal and oral presentation, we successfully landed a contract award that produced $750K in revenue in the first year and $2M in the second year. The growth between years in both of these cases can be attributed to implementing activity-based metrics to measure and drive performance, such as tracking meetings, entertainment events, business opportunities generated, and wins/losses. This systematized approach ensured consistent delivery and execution of project-based solutions and staff augmentation services.Not only did I bring some senior talent along with me, but I also coached a new Client Partner to full self-sufficiency leading to his growth and success before he later joined me at Sky Solutions.

  • Bicitis Group, Inc.
    Director, Business Development
    Bicitis Group, Inc. Mar 2008 - Jun 2013
    Dover, Nj, Us
    My experience at BGI highlights how focusing on building and maintaining high-value client relationships drives significant revenue growth and lead teams to deliver exceptional results. I thrive in dynamic environments where strategic business development, client focus, and leadership are key to success. I played a pivotal role in driving business development efforts with senior-level executives in Fortune 1000 accounts, leading to substantial revenue growth and long-term client relationships.As the business development leader for the co-founders, I oversaw the execution and delivery of project-based solutions and staff augmentation services with a staff of one Junior Account Executive and up to 25 consultants.  Networking and cold calling eventually opened the door to developing a strong relationship with a Vice President in Real Estate at Commerce Bank (now TD), which I grew to generate $2.5 million annually for several years. The GE Energy and Princeton University accounts each generated $600K per year. Additionally, I established several government integrator relationships, serving as a subcontractor for staffing needs.
  • Resolvit
    Founding Partner
    Resolvit Apr 2002 - Apr 2007
    Buenos Aires, Ar
    While co-founding an IT consulting firm, growing it to $8M+, and opening two locations are achievements in and of themselves, I look back at that time and measure my success more by how far the Team has come since they worked at Resolvit.Among my diverse team members, which including four Sales Executives, a Recruiting Manager, four Technical Recruiters, a Technical Director, two Consultant Care Managers, and an Executive Assistant, one transitioned from sales to a high-level billable consultant, two now run their own companies (a recruiting firm and an employee branding firm), and another has had a thriving sales career.

  • Sentient Systems

    The sales and management training I received here really gave me a tremendous foundation from which to build my sales career.Within a span of 4 years (both while in college and after graduation), I ran 2 branch offices and was later promoted to District Manager.  My first summer, I earned Top Sales Rep in the Washington DC metro area and Top 20 nationwide.  By 1989, I was promoted to Assistant Manager in the Northern VA office which rose to top office in the Washington DC area and Top 5 on the east coast. My last two summers, I ran two different branch offices and earned #1 branch manager in the Washington DC Metro area.
