Jack Ziesing
Professional Summary
Architect, engineer, and solutions enthusiast with over a decade across enterprise software, pre-sales solution architecture, and GTM systems. Built the foundation of my career at Salesforce — growing with the company from ~14,000 to ~90,000 employees — across Engineering, Alliances & Partnerships, and Pre-Sales Technical Architecture, advising on the Salesforce Platform, Heroku, data integration, and complex enterprise solutions.
After Salesforce, I launched a consulting practice focused on RevOps and GTM systems for SaaS companies — a space where the technical work bridges directly to business strategy: architecting and implementing systems alongside actively shaping business processes, pricing models, and operational frameworks with sales, finance, legal, and executive stakeholders.
Bring a combination of pre-sales credibility — value selling, solution storytelling, executive-level demos, and closing technical objections with CXOs and GTM leaders — and the operational expertise to build and lead the internal systems that make revenue teams run. Seeking a company with a product worth selling, whether in solutions engineering, technical architecture, or GTM / RevOps leadership.
