No rep has ever said their favorite part of the day is opening Salesforce to log meeting notes. So Justin Lee is building the version where they never have to.

Justin rode a single company from Series C to IPO in FP&A — and then did something almost no one does: he walked away from the post-IPO finance track to grind 100 cold calls a day as an outbound SDR. That rare mix of financial discipline and frontline empathy carried him through RevOps roles at Aircall and Reonomy, and today he leads GTM Strategy & Operations at Superblocks, where he has put an AI-powered app layer on top of a headless Salesforce so his reps live in a tool built for them, not for the org chart.

In this conversation with LeanScale co-founder Anthony Enrico, Justin gets into why the sharpest operators think like financial analysts, how to make bets when you have no data, the messy mechanics of consumption pricing (quotas, comp, and ARR), how to build AI tooling your team will actually adopt, and why go-to-market engineers are not going to replace RevOps.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy an FP&A background makes you a sharper RevOps operator — and what carrying a bag teaches you that a model never willThe empathy gap that quietly wrecks tool rollouts: if the reps do not adopt it, nothing else mattersHow to communicate up to the C-suite without the mental block (the blueberries story)How to make go-to-market bets when you have zero historical data to model fromThe first-principles method for turning 50 competing ideas into the 3 that actually matterWhy "the one big deal pays for it all" is the most dangerous line in enterprise GTMHow consumption pricing breaks quotas, comp plans, and ARR — and how Justin is rebuilding all threeThe Palantir model: using forward-deployed engineers and deployment strategists to drive activationWhat it takes to move a vibe-coded app from a local hack to production the whole team trustsWhy go-to-market engineers cannot replace RevOps — and the strategic + technical pairing that wins

ABOUT THE GUESTJustin Lee is Head of GTM Strategy & Operations at Superblocks, the enterprise platform where teams build production-grade internal apps with AI. He started his career in FP&A, riding a single company from Series C to IPO, before leaving the finance track to become an outbound SDR — 100 dials a day, learning the frontline the hard way. That combination carried him into sales ops and RevOps roles at Aircall and Reonomy (acquired by Altus Group). Today he is building go-to-market software that puts an AI-powered app layer on top of a headless Salesforce, so his reps never have to open a CRM again.
