ABOUT SELESTE LUNSFORD

My goal out of college was to be a consultant so that I could travel. I found a job in financial services that fit the bill and, as they say, one thing led to another. A consulting gig as a fractional product manager…led to a portfolio manager job in the sales effectiveness space…which led to sales effectiveness consulting…then, an acquisition led to internal GTM work…and so on. At this point, I’ve been a leader in the B2B sales performance industry for 30 years and I’m still having fun helping teams (both internal and external) optimize their GTM. At Coursera, I analyze our sales performance and build programs that drive team effectiveness, helping Coursera achieve our mission. In prior executive roles, I helped a startup, Emissary, evolve into a SaaS model by fleshing out our GTM approach. I ran sales advisory firm CSO Insights, served on the Miller Heiman Group executive team, conducted extensive F500 sales transformation consulting projects, and led several global enablement practices. And I have never, ever, been bored!
