Revenue leader · Go-to-market strategist

I build sales teams that work.

Go-to-market strategy, sales teams built from nothing, and broken teams put right. Twenty years, from startups to Fortune 500.

Three companies, one pattern.

  1. Oracle Build and repair

    105% of quota, quarter after quarter.

    I lead the cloud sales team for Retail and Hospitality, with a $30M consumption quota and $10M in product revenue. The team more than doubled and kept delivering.

    How I did it

  2. ProServ Start

    $0 to $100K+ a month in recurring revenue in 13 months.

    I started a managed services business from nothing and ran all of it: sales, marketing, engineering and finance, 25 people in total.

    How I did it

  3. Vicom Build

    From 2 reps to a division earning $8M in profit.

    I grew the sales team from 2 reps to 8, and built the prospecting engine and the partner channel with Pure Storage, VMware and EMC.

    How I did it

How I sell

I run MEDDPICC. Then I run T.I.M.

MEDDPICC gives a deal its structure. T.I.M is my own method, built from twenty years of selling, and it is how I work every stage. The stage names are public. How I run them is the part I teach in person.

Startups, small and mid-sized businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. The industry changes. What it takes to build a sales team that performs does not.

I teach it, too.

Imoye Academy is my passion project and my way of giving back to the continent that helped make me. I founded it, a team runs it day to day, and I guest lecture to kick off new cohorts, training African professionals to sell in Nigeria, with Rwanda launching in February 2027. 20 of 40 students I trained were working in sales roles three months after graduating. In May 2025 I gave the commencement address at my alma mater.
