What I'm looking for
With over 10 years of experience in Customer Success and B2B SaaS, I excel in driving retention and strategic growth for global organizations.

I lead quarterly business reviews with C-level stakeholders and collaborate with various teams to ensure seamless customer experiences. My passion for customer success drives me to create systems that not only react but also scale for sustainable growth.
