Jon’s 30+ years in top line growth began in Silicon Valley where he quickly gained a “revenue fixer” reputation by solving a wide range of the structural issues that stagnate new revenue and inhibit sales team performance. Since founding Sidehill Group in 2009, business leaders have relied on Jon and his team to create and implement reliable top line growth strategies and sales operations from the ground up, triple top line performance of stagnant firms in less than 2 years, and turn around failing sales operations to triple digit growth.
