Brandwatch acquired Qriously to expand their opportunity from only social media listening to market research as a whole. Post-acquisition I led the sales enablement efforts and joined the S&I team to roadshow the Qriously capabilities to Brandwatch's top clients.

I joined Qriously to investigate the use of their mobile ad-targeting tech, to provide consumer research to institutional investors. After proving PMF, sourcing, closing and growing the research business from 0 to $2M+/yr we pivoted the entire company to focus solely on the market research industry.

AOL bought 5min to lead their digital video efforts. I joined the sales team to ramp video advertising revenue, leading strategy and enablement across the team. I received the CRUSHer award as the sales divisions utility player and recognized in the EPIC club given each year to exemplary sales personnel. In 2014, I led and closed the industry's first tv-like upfront advertising deal across AOL's slate of original programming.

As a digital video marketplace connecting video producers and online publishers, I closed partnerships on both sides, to create a large enough platform to attract video advertising dollars. With direct knowledge of our partners and clients, I helped inform the product roadmap and scale business operations to meet all stakeholder needs.
