Descripción

Hello! I’m James - a senior Sales & Business Development specialist with 10+ years of hands-on experience helping SaaS and digital solutions vendors accelerate domestic and international growth. During this time, I have retained and captured millions of dollars in revenue across no fewer than 20 geographical territories.

Today, I support small and mid-size companies that need commercial expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire, designing and executing go-to-market strategies, building predictable pipelines, and closing high-value B2B deals with diverse C-suite stakeholders.

My work spans fractional GTM and sales leadership, outbound strategy and execution, account retention and growth, partner/channel development and international expansion.

Whether you need to validate a new market, build repeatable acquisition

motions, or strengthen enterprise relationships, I bring a hands-on, structured,

and data-driven approach, always focused on practical results.

I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to offer an initial, no-commitment consultation to discuss how I may be able to assist you in achieving your goals.
