- Sales Motion Modernization: Audit and optimize current sales cycles to increase velocity, driving measurable operational efficiency and consistency across all enterprise segments.
- AI-Powered Operations: Introduce and scale predictive, machine-learning-powered forecasting tools to replace manual projections with data-validated insights.
- Product & Engineering Partnership: Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to translate complex, enterprise-level partner requirements into a scalable, repeatable product roadmap.
- Industry Representation: Represent Toast across the enterprise sector, engaging at key industry forums and cultivating strategic partnerships to solidify our market leadership.

- GTM Evolution: Proven ability to mature an organization's go-to-market approach—shifting from transactional, relationship-led efforts to structured, enterprise-level execution without losing operational momentum.
- Sales Tech & AI Vision: Deep expertise in modern sales tech stacks, with a clear vision for leveraging machine learning and data analytics in revenue operations and pipeline forecasting.
- Methodology Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in enterprise sales frameworks (e.g., MEDDPICC, Sandler) and a history of implementing them to reduce friction in complex sales cycles.
- Cross-Functional Influence: Exceptional ability to partner with Product and R&D teams to synthesize custom technical demands into platform features that win deals sustainably.
- Strategic Agility: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing long-term strategic vision with the agile execution required to capture a rapidly evolving market.
