About Todd Carothers

# Silicon Valley Experienced Executive based in Chicago I am a Senior Executive with expertise in capitalizing on new revenue opportunities created by digital products and services. Today, companies look to get a better grip on converting their innovative products and services to scalable growth. From product and service definition to revenue generation is where I have the most significant impact. As a Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), I oversaw companies’ increasingly complex revenue process.# Innovative RainmakerI manage end-to-end functions that are involved in revenue generation, such as Sales, Business Development, Marketing, Customer Service, and much more. In short, you could say, I drive the entire revenue goals of the company in tandem with a range of activities that fall outside of the traditional boundaries of the front end of the business. I aim to maximize the growth within the potential of the company. I predict, produce, and execute revenue streams by building a robust sales and business development network and refine and scale the company for better customer experience.# Cross functional leader that drives resultsWhile I spend a lot of my time on sales, marketing and the building the funnel, and customer success, I also spend time with the product, business operations, finance, sales operations, business development, and people operations to align and drive to results.# A great CRO cannot be a one-trick pony and they have to find any and every go-to-market motion that provides leverage. Metrics, analysis, and data benchmarks are vital. My role is to test demand generation, selling, growth hacking, and leveraging other KPIs to measure success and failure and to know when, where, and how to double down.
