Driving Growth in the Public Sector

How Strategic Executive Sales Leadership is Poised to Transform a SaaS Company’s Public Sector Expansion

THE CHALLENGE
A fast-growing enterprise SaaS company in the contract intelligence space was ready to scale its public sector presence but lacked a strategic sales leader to make it happen. They needed someone with deep experience navigating Federal, State, Local, and Education (SLED) markets—someone who could lead a team, shape sales strategy, and drive net-new growth in a highly complex and competitive environment.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Senior Partner at Hobson Associates partnered with the client to conduct a targeted, national search for a senior sales executive. With decades of experience in technology recruiting—especially across enterprise software, SaaS, and GovTech—we focused on candidates with proven success in public sector sales leadership. The ideal hire needed more than just a network of government contacts—they had to bring strategic sales acumen, consultative selling skills, and the ability to lead cross-functional teams in a fast-paced SaaS environment.

We successfully placed a seasoned public sector sales veteran with over 20 years of experience leading high-performing teams in contract management and enterprise technology solutions.

THE RESULT

With this strategic executive hire in place, the company is now positioned to make a significant impact in the public sector. The newly appointed VP brings deep domain expertise, a clear growth strategy, and a track record of success in government-facing enterprise sales. Their leadership is already energizing the team and setting the foundation for scalable pipeline development, refined account strategy, and cross-functional alignment.

Thanks to Hobson Associates’ industry expertise and technology recruiting experience, this client is on track to grow its public sector footprint and compete more effectively in one of the most dynamic verticals in enterprise software.
