Why This Hire Matters

Fintech companies need to build compliant products at startup speed in a heavily regulated environment. Sales management experience is highly industry-contextual — a SaaS sales manager and a manufacturing sales manager have fundamentally different playbooks. Chennai's talent market is more relationship-driven than Bangalore's — referrals and network-based hiring outperform cold outreach significantly the difference between a great lead and an average one multiplies across every team member they influence — this is the highest-leverage individual contributor hire
