Summer Poletti is the Founder and CRO of Rise of Us, a revenue consulting practice helping growth-stage B2B companies build the right sales motion before they hire their way into an expensive mistake.
Her path is operator-first. After leading revenue functions inside corporate organizations, Summer co-founded an investor-backed fintech — earning a founder’s firsthand understanding of what premature and misaligned sales investment actually costs. That experience now shapes how she works with the founders and senior leaders who work with her. Across 22 companies, her work has consistently focused on one outcome: eliminating wasted time, money, and momentum on sales hires made too soon or at the wrong scale.
Summer’s current work sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and go-to-market execution. She helps scaling organizations extract more from their existing resources — keeping the buyer at the center of every system they build, and treating trust as the foundation of sustainable revenue growth.
