About: Journalist, meets graphic designer, meets marketer, meets sales pro, meets master of operations, and communication. Lindsey has worn many hats in her career thus far, and has many, many more to try on. She's spent the last 5 years with a focus in SaaS partnerships, and sales but has always married the two with graphic design.
Now a contributing designer, and sometimes sales writer at Growth Genie, Lindsey creates graphic content that speaks to the Growth Genie ethos.
About: After working in a variety of revenue roles for 8 years from account management to marketing to sales, Michael realized that the hardest role is to turn cold leads and prospects into warm sales opportunities, yet we often give that responsibility to the most junior people in the company. Michael thus set up Growth Genie in 2019 to help empower them.
Previously, Michael was VP Growth at CloudTask, where he worked side by side with the CEO and COO to scale them from 10 to over 200 employees in just 3 years.
Growth Genie Role: A bit of everything! As CEO, Michael practices what he preaches with sales to win new business, but most importantly he oversees operations to ensure our clients are happy with the quality of training, playbooks and cadences. He is also a regular speaker at events, podcasts and webinars about B2B sales and marketing.
Interests and hobbies: Running, hiking, tennis, techno and football (it's called football, not soccer
About: From legacy sales to telemarketing, the BPO world to tech, Lawrence has a rich sales background covering almost every vertical. His specialty is the phone but he's also honed his skills across LinkedIn, email, video and more over the last few years.
Now wearing a much more strategic hat at Growth Genie, he's focused on bringing in clients who we can really benefit from our work and then supporting them on their journey to achieve success.
Weird Fact: Took a 6 month vacation in Medellin, Colombia, that turned into a 5 year stay and counting…
About: From door to door sales to retail, SDR to AE, Director to VP, Mike has worn almost every hat in the sales book. At CloudTask he joined as an SDR and was instrumental in the growth of the company, joining as employee 15 and growing it to over 200 people. As top salesperson he rose up the ranks across 4 years from SDR to VP.
Not every great salesperson makes a great Manager or VP but CloudTask's growth only accelerated as he took on more responsibility. With Growth Genie since early 2020, his role is to help other sales people see the same success.
Growth Genie Role: As Client Trainer, Mike's focus is on supporting all our clients in active training and coaching.
