General Manager | VP Sales & Operations | Enterprise Solutions | Product Builder
Everett, WA • christopher-grove.com • LinkedIn • dubltap.io • Email
Open to remote, travel, and relocation. Available immediately.
Revenue and operations leader with deep technical roots in industrial automation and enterprise software. I've managed P&Ls, built enterprise sales pipelines, closed complex deals, driven technology adoption at scale, and shipped AI-powered applications — not as separate careers, but as a continuous thread of building businesses around technical products.
Currently General Manager at VERUS Associates (industrial automation, $2.81M revenue, full P&L ownership) and Founder of dubltap.io (9 AI-powered web applications in production). Previously VP of Sales & Partnerships at Apptigent, Enterprise Account Executive at Nintex ($2M+ ARR closed), and Partner Technology Strategist at Microsoft (200+ partner adoption framework, 30% to 70%+ adoption).
I'm looking for my next role — whether that's a GM/VP position, a fractional engagement, a solutions architecture lead, or a product-focused builder role. I operate best where technical depth, business acumen, and execution speed all matter.
Full P&L management, annual planning, monthly reforecasting, and margin discipline. I build sales pipelines, develop go-to-market strategies, close enterprise deals, and run delivery operations. I've done this across industrial automation, enterprise workflow/RPA, and cloud platforms — selling into manufacturing, financial services, technology, and professional services verticals.
I specialize in getting organizations to actually use the platforms they've invested in. At Microsoft, I rebuilt partner enablement programs from the ground up and moved adoption from 30% to 70%+ across 200+ partners worldwide. At VERUS, I drive adoption with marine and municipal clients. The pattern is the same: understand the user, remove friction, measure outcomes.
Full-cycle enterprise sales: prospecting, technical discovery, solution architecture, negotiation, and close. I earn trust with technical buyers because I understand their systems — Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, Azure, Power Platform, enterprise workflow, and RPA. I earn trust with executives because I connect technical decisions to business outcomes.
I build and ship AI-powered web applications at dubltap.io. Nine apps in production, all built with React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Netlify. AI/LLM integration (Anthropic, OpenAI) powering intelligent user interactions. I handle design, development, infrastructure, SEO, and marketing — sole operator. My background in industrial systems and enterprise sales shapes how I build: practical, production-grade, built for real users.
