What We’re Looking For
  • 8+ years in B2B quota carrying sales, including 5+ years in cybersecurity and 3+ years selling directly to large enterprises.

  • A consistent record of exceeding quota and winning complex deals worth six figures or spanning multiple years against established competitors.

  • Existing relationships with CISOs and security buyers in South Florida, plus the ability to self source pipeline.
