About

I'm a Salesforce Consultant with 10+ years working across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and CPQ — the person teams bring in because I move fluidly across whatever the platform actually needs, not just one lane. On a given engagement I might run requirements discovery like an analyst, configure and secure the org like an admin, write Apex triggers and SOQL alongside engineers, or own the roadmap and prioritization like a product owner. The title changes; the ownership doesn't.

My work sits across the full Quote-to-Cash lifecycle: requirements workshops, gap analysis, CPQ solution design (bundles, price rules, approvals), integration analysis, and UAT/SIT coordination with Sales, Finance, and Revenue Operations. I currently own requirements intake and solution design for a platform supporting 1,500+ Sales Cloud and Service Cloud users, plus 100+ community users.

Titles like "Systems Analyst" and "Administrator" undersell how much of this work is genuinely cross-functional — I'm usually the person in the room translating between engineering, sales leadership, and finance, and I stay hands-on with configuration rather than handing it off.

What I Actually Do

Five things that show up in every engagement — from the first requirements conversation to a system that's actually adopted.

01

Run requirements from ambiguity to spec

Lead discovery workshops and gap analysis with Sales, Finance, and Revenue Operations, then translate what's said into documented, buildable requirements — not just a wish list.

02

Own CPQ solution design end-to-end

Design product bundles, price/product rules, and approval logic across the Quote-to-Cash lifecycle, then configure it myself rather than handing off to another admin.

03

Build for scale, not just launch

Design security and sharing models from org-hierarchy analysis so access holds up as headcount grows — not a patchwork of one-off permission fixes.

04

Keep delivery teams aligned to the business

Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, and write the user stories that keep engineering pointed at real business outcomes, not just tickets.

05

Use AI to remove manual grind, not add hype

Identified where root-cause investigation was slowest and built a workflow across Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, and Git history that cut that time by up to 90%.

Selected Work

Three systems from my current role at Motive, chosen to show range across AI-driven process improvement, platform expansion, and CPQ ownership.

AI-NATIVE PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

AI-Assisted Bug Triage Workflow

MOTIVE INC. · 2026

SITUATION

Root-cause investigation for platform issues was manual and slow, requiring cross-referencing Jira tickets, Confluence documentation, Salesforce configuration, and Git commit history by hand — every time.

ACTION

  • Identified root-cause investigation as the highest-friction manual process on the team
  • Designed and built an AI-assisted workflow integrating Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, and Git history analysis
  • Drove adoption of the workflow as a standard part of the triage process

  • Designed the CPQ configuration supporting quoting across all three new markets

Company-Wide CPQ Platform Build-Out
