Experienced sales professional with a passion for continuous growth, emerging technology, and empowering others through learning and innovation. I recently joined Stripe as an Account Executive for SMBs, where I help high-potential companies scale by leveraging Stripe’s powerful payments and financial infrastructure.Previously at Udemy, I served as a Corporate Account Executive, leading strategic business development efforts and navigating complex sales cycles within the SaaS space. I was honored to be named Top SMB AE of Q1 ’23 and received the Q4 ’22 Collaborator Award for my cross-functional impact.Before that, I honed my consultative sales skills at Nextep and Sunpro, and earlier in my career, I led high-performing teams at UNICEF Aotearoa, where I was promoted quickly due to strong fundraising and leadership results.My foundation in business and marketing, paired with a global perspective from studying and living abroad, has shaped me into a well-rounded and adaptable professional. As a former Division 1 soccer player and whitewater raft guide, I’ve learned the value of composure, grit, and leadership under pressure — lessons I carry into every professional challenge.I believe in always learning, always improving, and helping others do the same.
