About Designate

We fix systems,
not symptoms.

Designate was built from operating experience inside B2B revenue teams, not from a consulting playbook.

Designate was built from operating experience, not a consulting playbook. Before founding Designate, I spent 15 years inside revenue teams, from retail sales leadership to enterprise software to building a go-to-market motion for a new region at a growth-stage startup.

At Protecht, I was the founding Business Development Manager in North America. I took an early-stage GTM playbook and made it work: iterating the motion, adapting what translated across regions, and driving the initiatives that defined how North America sold. I built lead routing that cut response time by 40%, designed the Salesforce dashboards and pipeline visibility frameworks leadership used to forecast, and pioneered new outbound motions that I trained across NA and global teams. I saw firsthand what happens when systems work, and what breaks when they don't.

At Zillow, I advised 550+ mid-market accounts on revenue strategy using behavioral data, ROI modeling, and territory-level forecasting. Before that, enterprise software sales at LogicManager, four years of territory management at Pearson, and nearly six years leading a retail sales team where I drove a 43% year-over-year profitability increase.

The pattern I saw across every role was the same: revenue teams rarely fall short because of effort. They fall short because of friction: between strategy and execution, between teams and tools, between what leadership sees and what's actually happening in the pipeline. Designate exists to find that friction and remove it.

How we work

01

Diagnose

Structured assessment of your CRM, processes, handoffs, and reporting. We map the system before changing any part of it.

02

Align

Cross-functional alignment on findings, priorities, and design decisions. Stakeholders see the same data and agree on next steps.

03

Build

Targeted implementation of the remediation plan. CRM configuration, process automation, handoff enforcement.

04

Validate

Testing, training, and documentation. The system is not done until your team can run it independently.

What we believe

01

Diagnose before you prescribe. Every engagement starts with understanding.

02

Fix the system, not the symptoms. Isolated patches create new friction.

03

Alignment before automation. Tools amplify whatever system they are placed in.

04

Build for the next stage. What got you here will not get you there.

05

Clarity over complexity. The best systems are simple enough that everyone trusts them.
