Shawn Winters Email & Phone Number

At every place I've contributed some sort of dynamic shift in the thinking or strategy of the startup.I piece together learning experiences from different startups, products at different stages to form a completely unique and fresh take on sales and go-to-market. I've been a 5x seed stage sales and go-to-market advisor and even executed on my own startup (OpTonal 2.1m Seed Round) and consulted many other top tier startups on their early-stage GTM and sales strategy. I've always been able to leave startups better off than when I arrived. I have a rare skill-set of being in the trenches doing outbound, full sales cycle execution, building and documenting sales and GTM motions, engaging with engineering and technical audience, connecting with CEO's and being a CEO.With over 10 years of experience in software sales and go-to-market, I am passionate about helping companies grow and scale their businesses. I have co-founded and bootstrapped OpTonal, a seed round company building an AI sales intelligence app for remote sales onboarding and training, and raised funding from notable investors. Previously, I was the first sales hire at Clerk, a front-end-first user management platform backed by Andreessen Horowitz, and a strategic enterprise sales manager at GitLab, the world's largest all-remote company. I have successfully closed deals with Fortune 500 companies, increased user retention rates, and built lasting relationships with customers and partners. I have also developed and executed effective sales processes, frameworks, and best practices for various SaaS products and platforms.
