Actively Looking · Seeking Sales Enablement Manager, Product Marketing Manager, GTM Strategist

Greg Bornstein

Sales Enablement & GTM Builder

I build pipeline and run sales conversations in environments where the motion is still being figured out. I come from performance arts — theater, magic, mentalism — which shaped how I think about sales more than any methodology ever did. I've spent the last few years building outbound systems from zero, most recently as the second US hire at a German industrial AI startup. I'm moving into Sales Enablement or PMM because that's where my real leverage is: I don't just sell, I build the playbooks other people sell from.
