Career summary:

3 years at tech start-up (B2B Marketplace for equipment procurement) (2017-2020). 4th employee hired. Grew revenue and MRR significantly. Were close to profitable but company pivoted to a finance SaaS product.

2 years at med device/parts/service company (2020-2022). Territory development in carolina's. Hit quota both years. Sold multiple 6 figure deals into new accounts. Also helped launch a new product for our catalog. Led 2 new remote employees.

September 2022 - with a desire to get back to a start-up, took a chance on an opportunity. Company let go of 90% of staff 8 weeks into my employment.

January 2023 - took a job as sales manager for a local manufacturing company in B2B medical space. It's been nothing short of a nightmare. I was mislead and fed a bunch of BS during interview process that's coming to light now.

The last 5 months have been a blur. I feel beaten down.

Applications have started going out today. I'm hopeful, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't stressed.

I feel my experience and skills can translate to nearly any industry with a little bit of guidance and product training. But more importantly, there's no ego. I'm not looking for a 6 figure base with $500k OTE.

Oh, the endless pursuit for the perfect company! One that not only provides a steady paycheck, but also a place where taking big risks and dreaming big are not just buzzwords in a glossy brochure, but a way of life. This mythical land of work-life balance, where the CEO doesn’t just tolerate a little harmless moonlighting on your personal passion project, but actually encourages it. A place where you can soar to new heights, or at least swing for the fences, with the full support of your colleagues. In short, a workplace that won’t clip your wings, but give you a nudge off the nest.

Good vibes to those looking for new opportunities.
