Sales Hacker Inc. is a global conference and event series, and online publication that brings together proven sales execs and emerging startup founders to share their lessons and experiences in sales automation and tech sales. We aim to help the next generation of successful B2B tech companies and VP of Sales worldwide, build efficient sales processes to close more deals using innovative strategies, hacks, and tactics.
I previously co-founded CMX Media Inc. which runs the CMX Summit and CMXhub.com. I still remain active as an advisor.
Before that I served as the VP of Business Development at Attorneyfee, a service that makes it easy for anyone to find the best and most credible legal council in their area, and departed upon our acquisition by LegalZoom.
Prior to Attorneyfee, I was the second business hire for Udemy and built much of the supply/instructor side of our platform, from the very beginning. During my time at the company, we raised two venture rounds and over $15m in funding and went from around 5 to 50 employees. They recently raised a $32m Series C round of funding and are growing rapidly.
On the side, I co-organize PushUpCharity.org, where startups do pushups for local charities. PUC has raised over $30K in it's first two events. Muttville Senior Dog Rescue is the charity I'm most passionate about.
