| 1 | George Beatty | Chief Executive Officer | Property Pals | 11-50 | Philadelphia United States | Company lists 19 staff and purchases over 100 properties per year. I'm juggling high transaction volume with a small team and no consistent process for closing deals. | /in/georgebeattyre |
| 2 | Sean McGlothlin | Vice President Sales and Account Management | nGenue - Natural Gas Operational Excellence | 51-200 | Houston United States | Stepped up from Account Executive into a VP Sales role within the same company on January 1 2026. The pipeline that sustained one rep now has to sustain an entire function. | /in/sean-mcglothlin-053771 |
| 3 | Zach Ghormley | Founder & CEO | Yorktown Capital | 11-50 | Dallas United States | Yorktown lists 12 staff and Zach's profile shows a second founded venture — PLX — with a 2–10 person team running in parallel. Two revenue engines at this stage means inconsistent deal cycles and no repeatable close process across either. | /in/zach-ghormley-4b6382a1 |
| 4 | Lisa McCollough | Director of Sales West Coast | Hillmann Consulting LLC | 201-500 | San Diego United States | Summary explicitly names 'creating repeatable growth models' as a current mandate. The gap between a 20-year career of hitting numbers and the absence of a codified process is the exact tension she's sitting with. | /in/lisamccollough |
| 5 | Sam Caucci | Founder & CEO | 1Huddle | 11-50 | New York United States | Raised $5M in a Series A on January 30 2020 on a 13-person team. Five years post-raise with inconsistent deal cycles and price pushback is the weight of a process that was never fully built. | /in/samcaucci |
| 6 | Rico DePaolis | Director of Business Development | Hapn | 51-200 | Boston United States | Started the Director of Business Development role on May 1 2025 at a 31-person team. Ten months in with deal cycles stretching and prospects going quiet is the signal a process hasn't clicked yet. | /in/rico-depaolis-6140b64b |
| 7 | Katherine R. | VP of Sales | Prolocity | 51-200 | Cincinnati United States | Company lists 47 staff and Katherine's skills explicitly include 'Full Cycle' and 'Complex Sales'. Carrying the full weight of a complex sales cycle alone on a small team means every stalled deal is personal. | /in/katherinerolley |
| 8 | Luke Shappell | CFO / COO | Integrity Tax Consulting | 11-50 | Fort Wayne United States | 23-person firm with Sandler sales training on the profile and CFO and COO in the title simultaneously. Owning both the numbers and the operations while deals close inconsistently is an unsustainable position. | /in/lukeshappell |
| 9 | John Hawkins | Director of Sales | Agilitec IT | 11-50 | Las Vegas United States | Company lists 21 employees and John's skills include 'Deal Closure' and 'Sales Cycle Management'. Those skills on the profile and a 21-person MSP means every quarter depends on his personal ability to close. | /in/johnhawkinsjr |
| 10 | Jason Taylor | President and CEO | M3 Technology Group Inc. | 51-200 | Nashville United States | Profile documents a decade as Director of Sales and Marketing before stepping into CEO at a 119-person firm. Running the full company while the sales motion he built hasn't been systematised means every quarter is a rebuild. | /in/jason-taylor-11ba5b43 |
| 11 | Steph Newton | Co-Founder | Ambr AI | 11-50 | London United Kingdom | Announced a £1.2M pre-seed round in December 2022. Three years of post-raise runway and the question of how to close enterprise buyers consistently without a proven sales motion still sits unanswered. | /in/steph-newton-aa905548 |
| 12 | Cristina Cordova | Chief Operating Officer | Linear | 51-200 | San Francisco United States | Completed an $82M Series C on June 10 2025. Owning Go-to-Market and Operations simultaneously post-raise means the pressure to shorten deal cycles and close predictably lands squarely on one desk. | /in/cristinajcordova |
| 13 | Soham Tikekar | Founder & CEO | Leadbeam | 11-50 | Palo Alto United States | Raised a $2M seed round on October 11 2024. Five months post-raise with a field-sales product means deal cycles are long and the model for closing consistently is still being written in real time. | /in/sohamtikekar |
| 14 | Vikas Marwaha | Co-Founder | Prophecy | 51-200 | San Francisco United States | Closed a $47M Series B on January 16 2025. Scaling enterprise sales with that capital means the cost of inconsistent close rates and stretched deal cycles compounds every week. | /in/vikasmarwaha |
| 15 | Zubin Tavaria | Chief Marketing Officer | MindsDB | 11-50 | San Jose United States | Raised a $5M seed round on August 8 2023. CMO at a seed-stage AI company means converting pipeline into closed revenue is the daily problem — not the job of someone else. | /in/zubintavaria |
| 16 | Jeffrey W. | Managing Partner / Fractional CIO | Port & Starboard | 11-50 | United States | 11-person firm and the profile documents a migration from Apttus CPQ to SteelBrick — a complex, client-facing implementation with pricing at the centre. Quoting and closing on complex deals with no dedicated sales function is the structural gap. | /in/jeffreywerby |
| 17 | Gregory Politis | Managing Director / Chief Investment Officer | Politis Investment Strategies | 11-50 | Wickham Australia | 20-person firm with business development listed as a profile function and no dedicated sales team visible. Closing institutional and private clients personally at that scale means every deal lost to a long cycle or a price objection is felt directly. | /in/gregory-politis-ab7612197 |
| 18 | Nathan Rowe | Chief Technology Officer | Evident | 51-200 | Marietta United States | Raised a $14M Series C on September 6 2022. A CTO carrying pre-sales and solution-selling duties post-Series C is the pressure point where deals stretch and prospects go quiet without warning. | /in/nathanrowe |
| 19 | Chris Strausz-Clark | Chief Executive Officer | Third Sector Intelligence | 11-50 | Seattle United States | 21-person team with Chris named as Principal Investigator on a $160M four-year analytics contract. Running high-dollar client commitments at that headcount means the process for closing new work consistently has to be personal — and it is. | /in/chris-strausz-clark-42899911 |
| 20 | Alex Septoff | Vice President MSP NCP and Sovereign Cloud | Spectro Cloud | 201-500 | Miami United States | Moved into a new VP role on February 1 2026 with a fundamentally different remit — from Worldwide Channels to direct MSP and sovereign cloud sales. The inherited pipeline, pricing model and close motion are all unfamiliar territory from day one. | /in/alex-septoff |
