Mark Barrett based in Salt Lake City

Enterprise Solutions Engineering and GTM leader. Twenty years building and leading pre-sales teams across Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft, and Pega — from first SE hire to global teams, from discovery to signed enterprise deals. Now back in Utah and open to what's next: a full-time SE leadership seat, or a fractional engagement to build or fix your pre-sales motion.

Where I fit

Three ways to work together

Twenty years of enterprise pre-sales, sales, and SE leadership — pick the shape that fits.

01

Lead

Full-time SE & Sales Leadership

20+ years pre-sales and SE leadership: Salesforce (7.5 yrs), Oracle (11+ yrs across three roles), Microsoft, Plansight, Pega. Built SE teams from scratch, ran enterprise deal cycles, and led AI/CX platform strategy.

  • Head of SE / VP or Director of Solutions Consulting
  • Sales leadership for application and software sales
  • US-remote, or on-site in Salt Lake City / Utah
02

Build

Fractional SE & GTM

Senior pre-sales leadership without the full-time hire. For companies standing up their first SE function, scaling one, or tightening the handoff between sales, solutions, and customer success.

  • Stand up or reset an SE team: hiring, playbooks, demo standards
  • Discovery, demo, and POC process tuned for enterprise deals
  • Hands-on deal support on strategic opportunities
03

Advise

Technologist & Architect

A practitioner's view of enterprise platforms — CRM, CX, and AI — from two decades of selling, demoing, and architecting them for large customers.

  • VC / PE technologist and portfolio GTM support
  • Solution architecture for CRM, CX, and AI initiatives
  • Customer success leadership for complex accounts
