Hey! I’m Shawn 👋🏼

I love start-ups and all the challenges that come with trying to do impossible things!

 
I have been fortunate to experience a lot of personal and professional growth in the last 7+ years that has allowed me to help students, professionals, leaders, and owners in my network. My goal in life is to create as much impact as possible on the world and people around me with whatever means and experience I have. Seeing the people and businesses I care for grow, is a core reason for my work ethic and desire to help 🎯

👋🏽 Today, I am helping startups become data driven and AI ready by building on Snowflake, the world’s best data platform. Previous to my current role, I was helping lead the sales strategy and team at Minerva transforming the sales process and motions by focusing on the buying experience while proving a once thought not possible outbound BDR strategy. Led 6-7 figure valued deals with key accounts like FIS, Coinbase, Robinhood, Tier 1 and 2 US banks while proving PMF for our initial enterprise clients for our flagship screening solution. Being the employee #1 @ Float helped cement my love for start ups, where I helped lead our startup from 0-1 with 0 customers to over 3000+, raising $70M of investments from top tier investors like Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global, Golden Ventures, and scaling internally from 1 to over 40+ employees in less than 12 months, by focusing on doing anything our business needs to do to win.
 
💪🏽  I like solving problems that seem impossible, especially the ones that challenge everything you know. I believe with adversity comes great things.
 
💻 My goal as a sales executive is to make the buying process easy and simple while providing education and a strong business case to adopt our solution. I take great pride and joy in working with our various revenue teams on special projects, enabling, coaching, and training our team on our product and helping them be extremely effective at their job!
