Sean Hopkins

Customer-focused sales leader who builds teams, revenue and AI-enabled processes that accelerate growth.

A decade-plus selling cloud, observability and cybersecurity platforms across ANZ and APAC, working with engineers and C-level executives to translate technical objectives into commercial outcomes. After hours I build with AI agents, GTM tools and cloud platforms, then write up what worked, what broke and what it cost.
