Marketing, sales, partnerships, and training

I connect marketing, sales, and partners into one revenue engine.

Twenty years on every side of the revenue team at Adobe, IBM, Acxiom, Rackspace, and Harland Clarke. I've run demand generation, launched products, built partner programs, carried an enterprise quota, and trained the sales teams who had to hit the number. Today I lead Left Brain + Right Brain, teach business in San Antonio, and serve on boards across the city.
