Alexandra Moore
Chief Revenue Officer
HealthBridge Systems
New York, NY
Application for Sales Director
Dear Alexandra Moore,
Over the last decade I have built and led B2B sales teams that grew annual revenue from $8M to $45M in enterprise software. HealthBridge is at the stage where that motion matters most — proven product, expanding market, and a sales organization ready to scale — and I would like to lead that next chapter as your Sales Director.
At Vertex Solutions I grew the enterprise segment from four reps to a 22-person organization across two regions, while raising average contract value 60% by moving the team from feature selling to executive-level value selling. I hire deliberately, coach weekly with call reviews and pipeline math, and hold a bar of accurate forecasting — my teams have closed within 5% of forecast for twelve consecutive quarters.
Healthcare technology is a deliberate choice for me, not a convenient one. Selling into hospital systems rewards exactly what my playbook is built on: long-cycle relationship building, multi-stakeholder navigation, and ROI cases grounded in operational data.
I would welcome a conversation about your growth targets and how I would structure the team to hit them. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
David Kim
