Experienced third-line VP Sales comfortable leading and scaling teams through complex strategic growth initiatives.
I spend a lot of time thinking about effective decision making, operational rigor, comprehensive change management, accountability, and performance management in support of hitting company goals and desired outcomes
“I can not say enough about the incredible impact Ellen's leadership has had on our sales team. It has been pure joy to watch her lead us from a floundering and chaotic startup to a well oiled machine ready to grow and scale at incredible rates. Never mind breaking record after company record weekly for the last 6 months. I have not had more fun at work in nearly 30 years of sales as I am having right now under Ellen's direction. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with or for her should jump at the chance.” - Sales Manager
“Ellen has been instrumental to my set up and success at HubSpot. Starting with HubSpot and learning the world of SAAS was a pretty daunting move for me after spending 13+ years in Media and the learning curve was steep. I was incredibly grateful and lucky to be aligned with Ellen as my Coach and guiding compass, to help expedite my ramp up at HubSpot. Ellen is kind natured, empathetic and a good listener and is skilled at helping the coachee arrive at their own solution. Ellen has a strong focus on personal growth and empowering others to be their best selves, as well as coaching to optimise business performance. In the time I worked with Ellen I took my team from a 66% FY19 position to 110% FY20 result. Ellen played an instrumental role in supporting my team and I during that period.” - Sales Manager
“I had the privilege of working under Ellen, our VP of Sales. She stepped into a company and culture in disarray but approached it with the wisdom of a true leader. Initially, she observed, listened to long-time employees, and gleaned insights on necessary changes. Then, she implemented impactful change.
Ellen excels in change management, adeptly solving problems while ensuring her team understands the rationale behind each adjustment. Her ability to communicate the "why" behind changes is truly remarkable.
Working alongside Ellen, I gleaned invaluable lessons. As a young female leader, she helped me conquer imposter syndrome and embrace my abilities with confidence. While I'll miss our collaboration, I find solace knowing she'll continue to guide and mentor me in my role as a sales leader.
With Ellen by my side, I'm assured of a brighter future filled with growth and success.” - Sales Manager
“Ellen is one of the most gifted coaches and mentors I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. She has been instrumental to my personal growth and development and has impacted my career in a tangible way. Ellen has impacted countless others at HubSpot in similar ways.
Ellen also has a unique ability to identify areas of improvement in individuals and business units and then create programs that not only address, but turn those areas around. She has a phenomenal track record of improving our entire sales org at scale time and time again.
Finally, Ellen is a pleasure to work with and for. A true collaborator, Ellen has an incredible ability to align multiple stakeholders for a common goal. Her charisma and energy underpinned by her natural ability are infectious.” - Sales Manager
