For over 20 years
An innovative and accomplished leader driven to help technology companies prosper and thrive in the government space.
A unique combination of expertise in public-sector software sales, services, marketing, partners, and engineering, and a history of successful strategies, teams, and innovation
I joined Accela as a Software Engineer twenty-one years ago, and rapidly progressed to software development management, and then excelled in four sales leadership roles over the next fifteen years.
In sales, I started first as the driven, and winning, go-to Solution Consultant for strategic demonstrations while also leading and growing the group for many years, including establishing innovative, customer-centric demo standards and processes.
I next launched and directed Accela’s new innovated group, Center of Excellence, establishing Accela’s Value-Added Reseller and Accela as a Reseller programs, growing and promoting Accela’s solution partners, authoring and developing the transformative delivery packages initiative, formalizing and standardizing the Best Practice Template program, authoring and directing the Civic Upgrade program, and authoring creative marketing plays.
The last four years I was in field Sales leadership, directing various direct sales groups, including the full western account teams, new business teams, lead generation teams, as well as a focus on mid-market new business with incredible results, and ultimately lead the Small Government Go-to-Market and partnerships.
I am eager to continue my journey of helping government delight citizens with a modern approach to service by joining like-minded professionals behind amazing technology and a fantastic, customer-first company, with a leadership role in sales or partnerships.
