Pricing, built for growth.

Great pricing has to work all the way through the business: customer value, packaging, CPQ, renewals, governance, and realized revenue. Not just in a model, and not just on a slide. I've spent my career inside quote-to-cash, so I build monetization that just works, in the field and at scale.

Focused on pricing, monetization, commercial operations, RevOps, and quote-to-cash.

01 / About

The best pricing means nothing if you can't operationalize, scale, and realize it.

Pricing and revenue operations leader in B2B SaaS, with a background spanning customer success, renewals, and business operations into pricing and monetization leadership.

I've led pricing and monetization across a global SaaS portfolio, helping drive eight figures in incremental revenue through value-based pricing and disciplined discount governance.

I've led CPQ and quote-to-cash transformation, integrated multiple acquisitions and product lines into one pricing and operations model, implemented financial controls and governance, and worked through ownership changes, systems transitions, and an IPO. I've built and led cross-functional teams across order operations, quote-to-cash, and product operations.

02 / Operating Range

Where I create leverage across pricing and operations.

The work usually falls into three connected lanes: getting the model right, making it run at scale, and steering through change.

03 / How I Work

A method, not a guess.

01

Understand the value

What customers actually value, and what they'll pay for it.

02

Align the model

What the team can sell, what customers accept, and how the product is packaged.

03

Operationalize

CPQ, quote-to-cash, and governance, so it runs at scale without chaos.

04

Measure realization

Price realization and leakage, not just list price.

05

Iterate

Tuned to the business, compounding over time.

04 / Field Notes

A point of view on pricing.

Best practices are just what's best so far... until something better proves otherwise.

On challenging norms

Models can estimate willingness to pay, but they do not always catch buyer fatigue, perceived value, or the trust it takes to renew. That human read still matters.

On the human side

Used well, AI surfaces each customer's real value and guides the seller to the deal that's right for both sides, faster. The goal is the right deal, not charging everyone differently.

On AI done right

Sometimes the business needs speed. Sometimes it needs discipline. A good pricing system can adjust without turning every deal into an exception.

On tuning to the business

Pricing is never really done. The model has to keep up with the product, the market, and the way the sales team actually sells.

On the long game

When AI agents do the work, seat-based pricing starts to break down. The unit becomes the outcome, and pricing has to account for the margin that compute keeps eating.

On AI agents

Let’s talk about the next build.
