As a Sales Excellence Manager, I manage a key intersection between Microsoft’s US Enterprise Sales team and the systems and processes they use to scale the Modern Work (Teams, M365, Viva, Office), Security and Surface business. I do this by operating at the tactical & strategic level with our stakeholders and leaders to prepare for future success. 

A key part of my role is to ensure our leaders are prepared to act quickly on insights to accelerate business outcomes and customer / seller success. To do this, I am focused on establishing a deep partnership with our field leaders, product management and our nat’l sales org to deliver over-achievement of business results. I provide coaching and support for various stakeholders who are executing on our key priorities at MSFT with a particular focus on increasing ease of doing business for our sellers by escalating and solving for operational inefficiencies and customer value gaps. 

I lean into understanding key insights to benchmark performance and define what our current and future needs are to grow the business faster than the overall market. This involves partnering with an extended cross-functional team (field / nat’l sales, sales ops, finance, eng, etc) to remove any roadblocks and increase our sellers’ capabilities. 

I also serve as a key partner in fiscal year preparation & growth initiatives on behalf of our org’s leadership team including understanding and scaling strategic initiatives, identifying what is needed to drive success and executing on solving those needs.

I also support our Sales leaders by being the team’s point of contact for my products. This includes leading best practice coaching sessions, driving a focus on consumption best practices, and being the voice of our field sellers and leaders back to our worldwide teams. The Enterprise sales org that I support is responsible for 2,000+ of the largest US accounts and accountable for $25B+ P&L. My goal is to help grow that number.

LinkedIn
https://www.linkedin.com/company/linkedin
As a Senior Customer Success Manager at LinkedIn, my goal is to scale the global enablement of Sales Navigator’s largest user-base and LinkedIn’s parent company, Microsoft. In partnering with Microsoft, my focus is to ensure they’re able to achieve their goal of empowering every person and organization to achieve more. 

As a trusted advisor, I developed and launched a large-scale digital transformation initiative to change the way Microsoft’s largest subsidiary engages and partners with their clients. I identified cross-functional partners across both organizations to help drive this from concept to execution. This strategy helped to up-level 7,000+ employees across diverse roles, functions, seniorities and geographies to leverage the full LinkedIn suite and drive true customer value. 

Through securing executive sponsorship, activating a community of champions, launching a gamification competition and other strategies, we were able to drive adoption and engagement on our platform. This resulted in usage to surge and sustain at all-time high levels, including increased leadership reach and influence through LinkedIn. We’ve also seen an increase in business connections and opportunities as a result of this workstream.

The success of this initiative has put us on track for a global rollout in other subsidiaries within Microsoft. We’re also leveraging this strategy to transform the way Microsoft’s physical retail store leverages digital selling behaviors to bring value to their customers and community organizations they support, including schools and higher education institutions. 

My plan is to continue to expand this strategy across Microsoft’s Sales and non-Sales organizations to find true value through the LinkedIn partnership. My goal is to capture some of the key learnings from this workstream and bring that back into LinkedIn to help influence and drive growth for LinkedIn’s other largest customers.
