GTM Engineer | Sales Leader | Data Strategist

As a GTM Engineer, I bring clarity to chaos - linking product usage, pipeline, and customer behavior into one aligned growth engine. I don't just strategize;
I build.

ABOUT ME

Builder of smart go-to-market machines

I’m a GTM Engineer with a background in sales leadership, data strategy, and education. I’ve built scalable revenue systems at fast-growing startups, led enterprise sales engineering teams, and taught math and statistics at the high school and university levels.

 

Most recently, I designed and operationalized Airtime’s GTM engine, connecting product data to CRM workflows, outbound campaigns, and revenue growth. Before that, I helped close $1M+ enterprise deals at Sidecar (acquired by Quartile) as the top-performing Sales Engineer.

 

I thrive at the intersection of sales, data, and execution - and I love turning complexity into clarity. Whether it’s structuring a pipeline, writing SQL, or simplifying a product story, I build systems that scale and help teams move faster.

"Michael is single-handedly the best hire of my career. He joined me at Airtime as a Sales Engineer, but later led our Customer Success & Onboarding function, now doing all of the customer-facing work at the company. He's a rare gem of a hire and can do any number of different things."

- Nakul Patel, Head of Sales @ Airtime (formerly mmhmm)
