$10M+ territory spanning 50+ regulated accounts across higher education and professional certification. Buying committees with no single decision-maker, long procurement timelines, and institutional risk aversion driven by accreditation and audit liability concerns.

Conducted consultative discovery designed to surface latent institutional pain around accreditation risk and audit exposure. Ran parallel net new and expansion motions across the territory.

$300K+ per year in net new contracts across multiple institutions. Maintained and expanded an existing installed base with high renewal risk. Developed a repeatable multi-stakeholder motion applicable across all 50+ accounts in the territory.

Senior Sales Executive 2013 - 2017

Displace Blackboard and Moodle incumbents entrenched for 5 to 15 years at large universities and global non-profits.

Navigated formal RFP processes, security reviews, and multi-institution evaluation committees. Built long-cycle pipeline with disciplined MEDDICC qualification at every stage.

$300K+ per year contracts closed against entrenched incumbents. Exceeded quota in consecutive years. Presidents Club recognition. Multi-year contracts with expansion potential across institutional divisions, including global non-profit organizations.
