I build GTM engines that tell your team who to go after this week, and why.
GTM engineer for early to growth stage B2B. What I build toward: your team starts every week knowing which accounts are worth their time and why, and every closed deal sharpens who you go after next. Most builds start after a team (or a founder going DIY) has plenty of tooling and no engine. I spent 18 years in enterprise sales first, so I build around what closes, and the reps actually use what I hand over. Clay coach for the Wedge program.
