OPERATING MODEL
How I Build and Scale Revenue Engines
I approach revenue leadership as a system, not a function.
My operating model is designed to create predictable growth, capital efficiency, and organizational clarity — whether the company is building its first GTM motion or scaling globally.
1. Full-Funnel Revenue Ownership
I operate with end-to-end accountability across the entire revenue lifecycle:
- New business acquisition (SMB, Mid-Market, Enterprise)
- Expansion, retention, and renewals
- Partnerships and channel motions
- Revenue Operations, forecasting, and analytics
This ensures alignment between growth ambition, execution capacity, and unit economics — without siloed decision-making.
2. Go-To-Market Design & Execution
I design GTM models that scale people and process, not heroics.
Key focus areas:
- Market segmentation and ICP definition
- Clear value-based messaging and qualification
- AI Adoption and efficiency modelling
- Pricing, packaging, and discount governance
- Sales methodology, enablement, and deal coaching
- Territory design and coverage models
The goal is always the same:
increase ACV, win rate, and predictability without inflating cost.
3. Operating Cadence & Forecast Discipline
Predictability is a leadership responsibility.
I implement a rigorous but lightweight operating cadence that typically includes:
- Weekly pipeline and deal inspection
- Stage rigor and exit criteria
- Monthly forecast and capacity reviews
- KPI dashboards across ARR, NRR, churn, CAC, and LTV
This approach has consistently improved forecast accuracy into the 85–90% range while increasing execution focus at every level of the organization.
4. Organization, Talent & Leadership Scaling
Revenue scale breaks when leadership layers don’t scale with it.
I focus heavily on:
- Hiring and developing first- and second-line managers
- Sales Process build through AI efficiency as support, not replacement
- Clear role definition and accountability
- Performance management systems tied to outcomes
- Compensation plans aligned with strategy and behavior
Strong leadership layers enable autonomy, speed, and sustainable performance.
5. Unit Economics & Capital Efficiency
Growth without discipline creates future risk.
I work closely with Finance and leadership teams to ensure:
- CAC efficiency and payback discipline
- Healthy LTV and retention dynamics
- Scalable hiring and capacity models
- Data-driven investment decisions
This is especially critical in post-Series A and scale-up environments.
6. Board & Investor Partnership
I translate operational reality into Board-level clarity.
My work with Boards and investors typically includes:
- GTM strategy and growth levers
- Market expansion rationale
- Forecasting confidence and risk mitigation
- Fundraising and commercial diligence support
The objective is trust, transparency, and informed decision-making.
Engagement Models
I typically engage as:
- Chief Revenue Officer / Chief Commercial Officer
- Interim or fractional CRO
- Board or advisory partner on GTM and revenue strategy
Each engagement is tailored to the company’s stage, ambition, and constraints.
