About
Enterprise Sales Leader Meets AI Builder
I'm a Senior Account Executive with 20+ years in technology and 15+ in presales and enterprise sales. What sets me apart: I don't just sell technology — I build it.
By day, I'm a Senior Account Executive for State & Local Government at ServiceNow, where I was promoted from Advisory Solutions Consultant after growing my territory's ACV by over 300% (from $1.1MM to $4.9MM+). I've built a $4.2MM pipeline at 2x quota, added 10+ net new clients, and am viewed as a trusted advisor who shortens deal cycles by bridging the technology-to-business-value gap.
By night, I'm an AI builder. I've architected NeoExidous — a personal AI development cockpit featuring an AI Sales Command Center (Charisma), agent orchestration dashboards, and an AI COO that runs on the Clawdbot framework. My stack includes Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Python, Docker, and deep integration with LLMs including Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude.
I want a career that is both intellectually fulfilling, stimulating, challenging, and one that brings change into people's lives for the better — ideally through technology. I'm looking to bring this unique blend of enterprise sales leadership and hands-on AI development to the next frontier.

What Colleagues Say
Words from leaders and peers across ServiceNow who've worked with me firsthand.
