Hey there. I'm Braden.  

​

I was lucky enough to marry my life-long sweetheart on July 30th, 2022. I'm father to one beautiful boy, with another on the way. 

​

I graduated from Timpanogos High School in 2010, where I was named Utah's all-state midfield lacrosse MVP after our team took the state championship. I'm an exercise and fitness enthusiast and trail marathon runner. 

​

I earned a 4-year degree in communications at Brigham Young University, where I also wrote for the school paper. 

​

I gained my first professional experience disrupting higher-ed career services at a Boston-based startup called uConnect. After graduation I remained in tech but gravitated into sales at InsideSales.com. 

​

I spent three years as a small business payments consultant at Visa. In February 2022, I took leadership of the sales development strategy for Cybersource, a Visa Solution. As its first-ever global sales development manager, I led SDRs in North America and Europe to generate pipeline for Visa's small business, partner and enterprise sellers. 

​

In May 2023, I departed Visa to lead sales development at Artifact, a startup committed to revolutionizing customer feedback insights for product organizations. Our team is growing rapidly and always looking for bright minds to make us better. 

​

My favorite thing to do is spend time in nature with my wife and son. I've owned nearly every Nintendo, PlayStation and XBOX console ever made and enjoy watching high-level competitive gaming almost as much playing. 

​

You can find me on Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. Based in Utah.
