Led enterprise go-to-market (GTM) execution and regional sales strategy for a complex, multi-product cybersecurity portfolio serving Global 2000 and highly regulated customers. Accountable for driving predictable growth across renewals, expansion, and net-new business while improving sales discipline, forecast accuracy, and close rates.

Played a central role in defining and operationalizing the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), aligning segmentation, territory design, and account prioritization to focus teams on the highest-value opportunities. This shift moved seller behavior from transactional selling to strategic platform-level engagement, resulting in stronger pipeline quality and sustained 3x pipeline coverage against quarterly targets.

Led teams in mapping buying personas across security leadership, IT, engineering, compliance, procurement, and executive stakeholders. Enabled sellers to tailor value messaging to each buying persona, driving deeper executive engagement and stronger alignment across complex buying committees. This approach contributed to higher average deal sizes, increased multi-product adoption, and improved enterprise penetration.

Embedded MEDDPICC as the standard qualification framework for all material opportunities, particularly six-figure and larger ACV deals. This rigor improved deal inspection, reduced late-stage slippage, and materially increased forecast reliability. Win rates improved on fully qualified opportunities as metrics, decision criteria, economic buyers, and procurement dependencies were addressed earlier in the sales cycle.

Demonstrated strong leadership through complex negotiation and procurement cycles, including legal, security, vendor risk, and global purchasing processes. Coached teams on value-based negotiation, competitive positioning, and pricing strategy, protecting margin while accelerating consensus and time to close. Consistently achieved strong renewal performance while expanding wallet share within existing accounts.

Drove operational excellence from opportunity creation through close, reinforcing accountability across every stage of the GTM motion. Delivered measurable improvements in close rates, renewal attainment at or above quota, and year-over-year gains in net-new ACV performance. Partnered closely with Sales Engineering, Marketing, Channel, and Executive Leadership to ensure tight GTM alignment and scalable execution.

Through disciplined sales strategy, ICP clarity, MEDDPICC execution, and expertise navigating negotiation and procurement cycles, built and led high-performing teams capable of closing complex enterprise deals at scale with predictable, repeatable revenue outcomes.
