What Carlos is known for

Carlos Mendez is a GTM leader who specializes in high-velocity mid-market and SMB sales motions, most recently as VP of Sales at Talavera Commerce, where he scaled revenue from $4M to $38M ARR in four years while pushing logo retention to 92%. He built the company's outbound SDR engine from two reps to a 35-person org, instituted a usage-based expansion playbook that lifted net revenue retention to 128%, and personally hired and ramped six frontline managers who now lead teams of their own.
