Ayan never meant to become a founder. Or a Sales Leader. In fact, he was a data-scientist. After soul-searching and speaking to many CEOs, he followed their advice and pivoted (or more like brute-forced) his career into Sales at mongoDB. As the founding AE on the Cloud sales team, he helped grow ARR from $10m to $150m+. He has won almost every sales-award, and scaled his playbooks, pipe-gen tactics and discovery to 300+ sellers. He has done every job — AE, Enablement, SalesOps, Territory planning. But he couldn’t live with the pains AE and Manager face daily. So he’s out fixing them. Currently, Ayan is the CEO at a sales-AI startup in stealth. Now his CTO nags him for SFDC updates.
