CEO & Founder

Adam McDougall

Adam McDougall is a sales recruitment specialist with over a decade of experience helping B2B and SaaS businesses build high-performing sales teams across Australia.

Before launching Sales HQ, Adam built a career on the frontlines — as a sales leader in high-growth businesses where revenue targets weren’t just a metric, they were the mission. That’s why Sales HQ exists: to help business leaders hire smarter, sell faster, and scale stronger.

Adam has worked with some of Australia’s fastest-growing tech, industrial and service-based companies — helping them align commercial strategy with the right salespeople at the right time.

He brings deep insight into what makes top performers tick, why hiring misfires happen, and how to structure a search process that delivers outcomes — not just CVs.

Whether advising founders on their first sales hire or helping national brands overhaul underperforming teams, Adam approaches every engagement with clarity, urgency, and a sharp commercial lens.
