About the Team

The Sales and Marketing Team at Respiris is currently a dedicated force of two, led by the Founder and CEO, who also serves as the Sales Leader and Fractional Head of Human Resources. This team of one is passionately driving the company’s mission, working in collaboration with SideTool, Respiris, and various partners to create revenue and expand services. 

Marketing and Client Operations have been fractional resources to Respiris, but this new role is a dedicated resource committed to the company’s revenue growth. As the company grows, this role has the potential to evolve into a Chief Operating Officer or Chief Marketing Officer position, reflecting the increasing complexity and scope of the business. However, the immediate focus will remain on business development, with responsibilities primarily centered on identifying and securing new opportunities to drive growth and success.
