I created a company-wide system to reduce the number of pre-sales requests by allowing existing requests to be cataloged and easily searched. I implemented a system in Jira to accelerate product launch processes and improve collaboration between product management and marketing teams. I developed product and technical marketing collateral, presentations, and success stories to enable sales.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I helped the Western North American sales team grow revenue by 25% (CAGR) while also managing key accounts. I promoted OPAL-RT's latest advancements and value in key market segments (EVs, electric aviation, microgrids, and cybersecurity) at conferences, trade shows, and webinars. I coordinated and monitored the development of application demos and supported marketing event logistics.
