Stuart Watson
AI-Native RevOps & GTM Strategy
I help startups scale predictable revenue — combining sales leadership, RevOps architecture, and AI-native tools.
Since 2011, I've worked across startups, scaleups, and post-IPO companies as a seller, sales manager, multi-line leader, and GTM operator. If you need someone who can move from board-level planning to frontline coaching, let's talk.
What I Do
RevOps Architecture
Forecasting, pipeline health, territory, and quota design. Board-ready models and reporting that drive predictable growth.
Outbound Engine
SDR program design, ICP refinement, onboarding, enablement, and handoffs that build pipeline you can trust.
Sales Leadership & GTM Strategy
Process design, team structure, messaging frameworks, and headcount modeling for Seed through Series C.
The AI-Native Advantage
Using AI and code to ship the changes your team has been routing around for years — data cleanup, territory models, enrichment pipelines, and purpose-built tools that replace the SaaS you've outgrown.
