Moreover, Samuel's affable personality and cooperative attitude made him a joy to work with. He fostered a positive team dynamic, readily offering support and guidance to colleagues.

    Sam Lee

    Senior Account Executive

  • Samuel is a high-energy go-getter who embodies the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way." During our time working together, I've seen Samuel overcome many obstacles through creative ingenuity. He constantly raises the bar for the work that he does by building and refining automated systems for scale. His charisma, charm, and aptitude for automation makes him a powerful force to fuel the growth of any organization.

    Michael Cheng

    CEO, Lumen5 Technologies

  • Samuel is a dynamic Sales professional who's really pushed the envelope in process development and automation for his team. By taking ownership of Hubspot processes, he's been able to turn automation into an asset, driving higher numbers of outreach and pipeline revenue. He's consistently hardworking, willing to put in the time and get things done, and open to collaboration and feedback that drives alignment across teams. I'm happy to recommend him as a crucial and engaging team member, particularly for creating efficient and effective outbound automation process with real impact.

    Grace Cheung

    Marketing Manager, Lumen5

  • Samuel is a very kind and dedicated individual. He completed our project ahead of schedule, addressing issues promptly and showcasing his efficiency and problem-solving skills. He communicates effortlessly and always responds in a timely manner. Samuel is a valuable asset to any team, and I highly recommend him!

Samuel's knowledge, passion for BD and professionalism make him an invaluable asset to any team seeking to enhance their outreach strategies.

    Chelsea Kammerer

    Business Development Director Voltpost

  • Samuel embodies a strong entrepreneurial spirit. He’s always looking for new ways to contribute to Lumen5, and often contributes in ways that are outside of his core role. He’s very tenacious and always willing to lend a hand. For example, he’s helped us on the product side by troubleshooting product issues, and also by surfacing customer insights to help drive the product roadmap. This is incredibly valuable in our organization, as it can be hard for product managers to get feedback from people considering Lumen5 directly.

    Kaegan Donnelly

    Head of Product, Lumen5 Technologies

  • Working with Samuel is great! He's the kind of person who picks up new things incredibly fast. It's impressive how much he gets done and how he's always focused on getting real results. Plus, he's got a real self-starter attitude - once he's up and running on a problem, he'll make consistent progress towards a solution. Specifically, Samuel helped get our outbound sales process producing consistent results. He was able to span everything from setting up and managing domains, to crafting messaging and tracking results.

    Nigel Gutzmann

    CTO, Lumen5 Technologies

  • I’ve worked with 50+ SDRs in my career, and I can say with confidence that Samuel is among the best. When I started at Lumen5, he was an SDR with an individual quota, which he routinely surpassed. He was able to use his unique combination of creativity and tenacity to consistently book high quality meetings with decision makers at large enterprises, always setting me up for success with a smooth handoff. Since then, he’s evolved his role into overseeing pipeline development for the entire organization, which he has done seamlessly.

    Peter Nieuwenburg

    Senior Account Executive

  • In the last year and a half at Lumen5, I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Sam, and I can confidently say that he's one of the most tenacious people I've ever met and has a remarkable dedication to his work. Sam possesses an exceptional talent for building and improving processes, which has been instrumental in driving our team's success. His innovative approach to automating alot of our outreach has consistently resulted in new opportunities, showcasing his ability to think creatively and strategically.
