About Bastian R. Carden

Classically trained in business at the Wharton School, I left my home in Georgia, headed for. Silicon Valley, where I landed at my first startup. Two decades and three stops later, most importantly at Yelp, I’ve run the gamut of sales as soldier, sergeant, and captain.From breaking records in local sales as an I.C. and manager to driving $40MM dollars in annual enterprise revenue, I’ve gained a textbook understanding of revenue-generating flows from vetting & prospecting to transaction & retention. From building training programs to innovating output metric tracking systems for an org of thousands, I’ve learned the nuances of sales operations from grassroots to ft and everything in between. I’ve mentored a vast network of sales professionals and leaders, worked with hundreds of directors, executives and C-suite personnel, and own relationships with decision makers at most major media agencies. In particular, my track-record retaining and growing revenue is unparalleled, with multi-year relationships above seven figures at dozens of billion-dollar enterprises. I’ve exceeded target in ~90% of my measured terms over the last 17 years.Along with thousands of local transactions either closed or overseen, my past clients include, among others: Discount Tire, Neiman Marcus, Mattress Firm, PetSmart, Spring Mobile, Sonic Drive-ins, Whataburger, Landry’s, Jersey Mike’s, Paramount+, Dwyer Group, Waste Management, ServiceMaster, Banner Health, FastMed/NextCare, VCA, Visionworks, Choice Hotels, Best Western, MGM Resorts Int’l, Caesar’s, Massage Envy, Fossil and Sprouts.Complexity is where I’m comfortable. Revenue is what I do.
