Sales Leadership

Triple A Sales  ·  Head of Sales  ·  Boston Based

I build sales organizations that perform predictably — not heroically. Over eleven years, I have been handed early-stage teams and emerging companies at inflection points, and left behind systems, culture, and revenue growth that outlasts my tenure. The proof is in the numbers. The method is in the playbook.

The pattern

Walk in. Assess.
Build. Scale.

Every chapter in my career follows the same arc. I join an organization at an inflection point — a team that is underperforming, a company scaling faster than its infrastructure can support, a market that needs someone who can build the system and coach the people simultaneously.


I do not inherit finished things. I build them. Then they grow.


The throughline across every role is the same: clear expectations, disciplined coaching, and the operational infrastructure that makes the right behaviors visible, repeatable, and scalable — long after I am no longer the one driving them.

This playbook is the distillation of everything built and refined across eleven years of sales leadership — from individual contributor to Head of Sales to cybersecurity advisory. It is not a theory document. Every framework in it has been run in the field, tested under pressure, and refined through real results.

It was built as a resource for first-time sales leaders. It is also the clearest answer to the question a CEO or founder asks when evaluating a Head of Sales candidate: has this person built what I need to build?

Performance
Activity plans, PIPs, documentation discipline, and the 1:1 system that connects coaching to results.
Coaching
Indirective-first coaching, individual development plans, role play frameworks, and the Fierce Conversations method.
Methodology
Challenger Sale, Sandler Method, MEDDICC, deep discovery, and pain-based selling — all with worked examples.
Operations
Forecasting, SaaS metrics, pipeline management, the Eisenhower matrix, and the 90-day leadership plan.

The philosophy

Three things that
never change

Across every role, every team, every market condition. These are not slogans — they are operating principles that show up in how the team is built, how the culture runs, and how performance is managed.

01
Attitude · Activity · Accountability
Every hire is evaluated against it. Every culture conversation comes back to it. The Triple A Foundation is the non-negotiable baseline — because talent without accountability produces streaks, not systems, and effort without attitude produces output, not culture.
02
Lead to the answer — never give it
The rep who arrives at the answer themselves owns it. They repeat it, teach it, and use it the next time without needing you in the room. A manager who gives answers builds dependency. A coach who asks the right questions builds a team that performs independently.
03
Predictable sales over hero sales
A great month followed by a bad month is not a high-performing team — it is an unmanaged one. The goal is to build the system, coach the people, and run the process so that results become expected, not celebrated as lucky. Revenue that surprises you is revenue you do not control.

"My goal is to build a team that performs because they are equipped — not because I am watching. When they can run without me in the room, I have done the job."

If you are building a sales organization and need someone who has done it before — from the first hire to a 150-person team — I would like to hear what the problem is.
