Paul
Saba
Former VP of Global Sales Enablement
Paul Saba is a revenue leader who has spent his career building commercial engines, developing the people who run them, and doing it at global scale. He started by carrying a quota, delivering top performances at companies like Xerox and Gartner, before moving into the operations side of sales - building the systems and processes, and developing the sales executives, that make revenue teams perform. Over the past five years he built Info-Tech Research Group's enablement function from one person to a thirteen-person global team supporting 500+ sellers and 100+ leaders across three continents. A lifelong student of the sales game, Paul believes the learning never stops.

From L&D function to the CRO's Chief of Staff
Most enablement careers are told the same story: L&D roots, a training-heavy remit, and a ceiling somewhere below the leadership table. Paul's path went the other direction, ending up as Chief of Staff to his CRO. This session traces exactly how that transition happened and what it signals about where enablement can sit within an organization when it's positioned as a strategic partner rather than a support function. Key takeaways: - The specific shift in scope that moved Paul from L&D into a strategic role - What a CRO actually delegates to a Chief of Staff, and why enablement backgrounds fit - Signals that your own function is positioned as strategic versus purely operational
