    Senior Sales Leader

    Who am I?

    I’m Courtney a sales operator, culture-builder, and mom of three.

    I’ve led hyper-growth teams at Google, Oracle, SADA, and Databricks, helped scale businesses from $10M to $500M+, and learned most leadership lessons the hard way inside pressure, change, and real accountability.

    I write for leaders who are carrying real responsibility and want to scale results without burning out, losing their teams, or losing themselves.

    This isn’t thought leadership from the sidelines.

    It’s perspective from someone who’s been accountable for outcomes.

    What you will get?

    Inside The Operator’s Note, I share:

    Hard leadership lessons — including the ones I didn’t always get right

    Sales and operating frameworks you can use immediately

    How to scale performance without burnout culture

    Leadership under pressure: re-orgs, forecasting stress, trust, retention, and the moments no one trains you for

    These are the things that don’t fit neatly into a LinkedIn post — but matter most when you’re leading.
