Dan P.

Enterprise Sales Leader | Player‑Coach | AI‑First GTM Strategist | Robotics Coach

I’m a senior enterprise sales leader with 15+ years driving multimillion-dollar growth across SaaS, AI-enabled platforms, and technology services. I combine consultative solution selling, technical fluency and operational discipline—closing landmark enterprise deals (Microsoft, Expedia, Saks Fifth Avenue) and accelerating pipeline (500% lift at FusionHit; 161% quota attainment at Vidyard; $2.4M ACV at BRYJ). As a player‑coach I hire, mentor and scale teams, and as Head Coach of Deep Dive Robotics I develop teenage engineers in systems design and high‑pressure execution. I hold a B.S. in Economics from Northwestern, am a Deloitte Consulting alum, and focus on AI-powered software engineering go‑to‑market strategy and revenue acceleration.
