About

The full picture

I'm a Senior Solution Engineer with over 12 years embedded in pre-sales. I've sat in every seat in the deal cycle — building the first demo, running discovery workshops, presenting to the C-suite, and operating the SE org from the inside. That end-to-end exposure across every angle of the sales motion is what makes this background different, and it's what I bring into every customer engagement.

I've worked every segment from SMB through to Enterprise, on deals of all shapes and sizes, including some of Salesforce EMEA's largest enterprise deals. Across 600+ accounts, I've built experience across almost every major industry vertical — from Financial Services and Pharma to Retail, Automotive, Luxury, and beyond.

Currently at Notion, covering Mid-Market and Commercial.
