After 6 months under my management, the team had improved their forecasting accuracy and lead-to-opportunity process, resulting in a 155% growth Y/Y in Q2 bookings. • Led the initiative to transition management of Instructure’s inside-sales reps from the marketing team to sales. After completion, the traditionally underperforming team consistently overachieved their targets and were considerably more effective than their peers. Shortly thereafter, the structure that I proposed was rolled out across the entire company. • Actively involved in the development and GTM strategy of Instructure’s corporate product, Bridge, which grew from 2 salespeople to 7 salespeople, 2 managers, and 6 inside-sales reps across APAC and EMEA.
