Hi Ryan and Abraham! My name is Simon Zolotarev and I am interested in applying for the Start Up Account Executive Role at Anthropic
My motivation to join Anthropic is ever growing - I want to be a part of the generational change driven by Safe use of AI. Today is a lifetime opportunity to build a new world and I would love to interview for this role
Let’s delve into my sales career, pinpointing key skills, achievements and experiences along the way.
The striking parallels between my Plaid experience and this Anthropic opportunity reveal a natural evolution — both share disruptive technology DNA and a winner's mentality in market conquest :)
Mission Led Company
It was rewarding to be a part of Open Finance’s impact in delivering unmet gaps in financial inclusion for underserved pockets of society. As I think where to focus the next 5 to 10 years of my life, a truly human first mission, ethically aligned organisation and the potential to have an outsized impact within mission-critical industries are deeply important.
SAn francisco unicorn
I understand what it takes to build an EMEA GTM function for a large San Francisco based Unicorn – rolling up sleeves, embracing expanded ownership and building an internal Cross Atlantic bridge.
I am eager to apply my experience of scaling Plaid Europe to help Anthropic expand its AI footprint with your laser focused, high-calibre team.
forefront of innovation with startups
Given my role of owning the Start Up segment, I have what I consider the most fulfilling responsibility on our team — partnering with visionary founders and C-suite executives who will revolutionize the financial sector. A pillar of my success is acting as a Founder’s Associate in my deal cycles — building trust and translating client vision into outcomes.
I present to you, my "treasure" trove of skills and qualifications, crafted through years of learning and practical experience. I've developed a unique approach that transforms ordinary sales into extraordinary results. My interpersonal skills charm the most reluctant prospects, my negotiations turn objections into opportunities, and my trend forecasting has colleagues asking for lottery numbers (still working on that one).
