My experience ranges from non-profit program management to leadership positions in corporate communications, organizational development, and recruiting for marketing, sales and technical seller-doers. In all of these roles, especially in my current role as CEO of Atomic Revenue, superior communication and project management skills have been the underlying foundation for professional success. In 2009, I launched TJKworks to help entrepreneurs achieve their goals using these same principles. As a consultant and coach, I help clients achieve their next milestone by providing: - executive bandwidth and corporate communications leadership, - executive thought leadership positioning, - fully staffed Marketing Operations teams as a subscription service. In 2014, I acquired majority interest in a sales operations firm as the missing link in her clients' revenue generating success. As CEO, I led Atomic Revenue through a rebranding and innovation process to define the business discipline of Revenue Operations. The TJKworks model of marketing operations has become fully integrated with Sales Operations expertise of Algorythmics which allows for the third and final pilar of revenue operations, Customer Success. By uniting three emerging operational disciplines, Atomic Revenue addresses the people, process, and data requirements of revenue generation. Today, Atomic Revenue continues to define the discipline of Revenue Operations with programs, services, and expertise dedicated to the profitable growth of privately held small to mid-size businesses. As Executive Partners and Revenue Operations Practitioners, the Atomic Revenue team fill gaps and expands bandwidth to meet the unique growth challenges of the SMB market. Being discipline specific and industry agnostic allows me to employ my passion for the cross-industry-pollination of business best practices. Healthcare like software and professional services like manufacturing--under the hood, its the same business engine.
