So I built the structure for it: AI-driven onboarding to speed time to value, a metrics driven adoption model to make the product stick, and a health-scoring and risk-intervention system built with Product and Engineering that flagged at-risk accounts in real time so we reached them before they thought about leaving. The result was a measurable, repeatable retention engine that scaled across every segment. - **Head of Sales at Revi** (2024-02-01–2025-06-01) — Proving mid-market earned me the whole funnel new business across every segment, with a mandate to keep climbing upmarket without breaking the SMB engine. I rebuilt how Revi sold: structured playbooks, real qualification discipline, multi-stakeholder deal coaching that turned founder led selling into a repeatable system. Win rates tripled, the SMB cycle compressed from weeks to days, and we more than doubled the customer base on a sales motion built to scale well past founder led delivery. - **Director of Mid Market Sales at Revi** (2023-01-01–2024-02-01) — I joined Revi to move the company upmarket beyond its SMB base into larger, higher value restaurants the platform had never sold to. I built the mid-market segment from scratch, opened three new markets, closed the first logos myself, and ended up driving the majority of the company's growth that year handing off scalable playbooks that took the segment well beyond founder led selling. - **Director of Sales at Stealth Mode** (2021-09-01–2022-12-01) — Built all sales playbooks, call scripts, demo presentations, objection handling frameworks, and follow-up cadences from zero • Designed a repeatable sales motion across discovery, qualification, negotiation, and close powering 300% YoY revenue growth • Hired and scaled a 14-person sales organization including managers, and negotiated a landmark $20M exclusivity partnership with the largest premium restaurant operator in the US • Expanded into 7 new geographic territories through disciplined GTM execution and team enablement - **Business Unit Director at Solico Group** (2016-01-01–2021-08-01) — Restructured and scaled the team from 16 to 50+ people, redesigning roles and building a high-accountability sales and operations organization • Drove 10% volume market share growth and 32% value market share growth through new product development and strategic GTM execution • Developed and executed Annual Operating Plans covering GTM strategy, pricing, financial planning, new product launches, and market turnarounds across all regions • Expanded market presence across GCC, APAC, and CIS through territory planning, channel development, and account management across B2B, B2C, and distributor networks - **Business Manager - Chanel Accessories at Bloomingdale's** (2013-04-01–2015-10-01) — Grew account revenue by 45% through a disciplined clienteling program, structured sales training, and proactive client outreach • Increased full price sales penetration from 70% to 95% through day to day coaching and consultative selling, materially improving margin quality • Attended all buying trips, ran sales analytics, and owned demand forecasting to ensure inventory alignment with revenue targets - **Business Manager - David Yurman at Saks Fifth Avenue** (2012-01-01–2013-01-01) — Promoted - **Brand Manager - Armani Collezioni at Saks Fifth Avenue** (2011-01-01–2012-01-01) - **BM | Lanvin at Neiman Marcus** (2006-01-01–2011-01-01) ## Education - B.A., Business Administration — Payam Noor University (2006-01-01) ## FAQ ### What does Siavash do?
