About Hayden Rathmell

I specialize in helping mid-market organizations bridge the gap between their business strategy and their customer reality. With a background in Finance and years of experience at industry leaders like Gong, Qualtrics and Podium, I focus on identifying the \"why\" behind the data to help my clients build better experiences.My approach to sales is rooted in partnership. Whether I’m quarterbacking a complex $1.5M+ ACV deal or beta-testing new product workflows, my goal is to ensure that the technology solves a specific, high-impact business problem. I believe that when you focus on the customer’s success, the revenue follows naturally.Core Expertise:Strategic Account Management: Managing long-cycle (6–12 month) complex sales within the $500M–$2B revenue space.Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborating with Solution Engineers, AWS/SAP partners, and executive stakeholders to ensure seamless implementation.Financial Insight: Leveraging my Finance degree to understand the ROI and bottom-line impact of SaaS investments for my clients.Beyond the Office:I’m a firm believer that the discipline required in sports translates directly to the discipline required to serve clients at a high level. When I’m not at my desk, you can usually find me:On the Trail: I am a Boston Marathon qualifier and finisher (and former NCAA D2 Cross Country/Track athlete).On the Ice: I’m an avid hockey player who loves the fast-paced strategy and teamwork of the game.On the Course: I’m a big golfer—always looking to improve my game and enjoy some time outdoors
