ABOUT THOMAS WAITES

I love sales.With over a decade of Sales Leadership experience, I’ve had the privilege of leading, building, and scaling high-growth tech sales teams. My expertise lies in sales strategy and leadership, helping companies achieve remarkable growth and success.Currently, I serve as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Median, a rapidly growing tech company. I transitioned into this role after being an Advisor to the CEO and Head of Sales for two years. Prior to this, I was Vice President of Sales & Strategic Accounts at Together, a global B2B SaaS company. I played a key role in driving the revenue growth that positioned our company for a successful acquisition at a premium valuation- my third successful acquisition to date.Through TW Sales Inc, I provide advisory, coaching, and fractional CRO services to Founders, Executives, and salespeople at tech startups. I specialize in crafting sales strategies, building scalable sales infrastructure, and achieving sustainable revenue growth.I’m passionate about mentorship and giving back to the sales community. As a Coach and Mentor with two of Canada’s leading startup incubators, Communitech and DMZ, I work closely with early-stage founders. I also volunteer with organizations like Women In Tech Sales Bootcamp and Palette Skills. Additionally, I founded The Sales Network (thesalesnetwork.ca), a free mentorship and peer-to-peer network for sales professionals.For sales resources and insights, visit my website:
