I love go-to-market strategy, sales, marketing, change management, and people development. The common thread between all of those interests is psychology. My deep-rooted passion for understanding human behavior and behavior change is what has contributed most to my career success. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently been a top-performing salesperson and I’ve made significant contributions to the GTM strategy for each organization I’ve worked with. Working at early-stage startups, mostly in B2B SaaS, has allowed me to collaborate with every department. While keeping up with and exceeding my personal revenue targets, I’ve also been heavily involved with market research, messaging, positioning, pricing strategy, product strategy, implementation/onboarding, adoption, retention/upsell strategy, sales training, content creation, and marketing campaigns.

I am a seasoned Project Manager Professional that enjoys working with talented teams to achieve ambitious goals. My educational focus was based in persuasive communication and my passion is for participatory process, and cause-based marketing. I don't believe that anything good ever came from looking down on people. I am a firm believer that good teams are dynamic, united by a visible strategy and inspired by a bold vision.

I started my sales career unknowingly when I was 11 years old, trading Pokemon cards and collecting holographics. The stakes are higher now, but the game is still the same. With a natural curiosity, desire to help others, and drive to succeed - I've hustled and grinded as a sales professional, and consistently over-performed both as an individual contributor and a team leader. I enjoy books, running, snowboarding, and being outside. I also grew up in the Middle East, and have traveled the world as a solo backpacker, for work, and with family and friends.
