Known for his consultative approach, executive relationship building, and ability to align cross-functional teams, he has consistently driven transformative growth and delivered measurable client impact.
Most recently, as an Enterprise Account Director at Salesforce, Jake acted as a strategic advisor to large enterprise clients—leading complex, high-value sales cycles and partnering with C-level executives to shape digital transformation strategies. He collaborated closely with Salesforce industry and product teams to deliver tailored, ROI-focused solutions that aligned with each client’s business priorities.
Previously, Jake served as Chief Revenue Officer for Ad Victoriam Solutions, a Summit-level Salesforce and MuleSoft consulting partner specializing in multi-cloud implementations and technology optimization.

While many consulting firms focus primarily on technology implementations, TruSummit begins with understanding the business—aligning strategies, processes, and people before bringing technology into the solution. That approach, combined with our depth of expertise, collaborative culture, and client-first mindset, is exactly what organizations need in today’s rapidly evolving business environment. I look forward to working closely with our Salesforce partners and clients to achieve meaningful, measurable results together.”
