Customer Success Manager with 12 years of enterprise account experience.
What I'm looking for
As a Customer Success Manager with over 12 years of experience, I am dedicated to fostering strong relationships and driving value for enterprise clients. My journey began at Aiven, where I supported the adoption of a multicloud open source DbaaS platform, managing two of the largest accounts and several strategic partnerships. My focus on governance, stakeholder alignment, and incident resolution has led to significant account growth and customer satisfaction.
Previously, I excelled at RichRelevance/Algonomy, where I managed a portfolio of enterprise accounts in the retail and ecommerce sectors. My role involved mitigating churn and maximizing growth through effective relationship building and business acumen. I have a proven track record of achieving high ARR retention rates and successfully launching new products in competitive markets.
With a strong educational background, including a General Management Program from SDA Bocconi and a Master's in Management of Information Systems from Trinity College, I continuously seek to enhance my skills and knowledge. My interests in analog photography, cinema, and literature reflect my creative approach to problem-solving and customer engagement.
