Biljana Bozhinovska
@biljanabozhinovska
I build scalable CRM processes that improve retention, customer acquisition, and operational decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I've led customer success and CRM strategy at Digital River, managing end-to-end responsibilities for a $750M SaaS client and surpassing annual revenue targets by 12%.
I translate customer feedback, business needs, and market trends into roadmap priorities, platform features, payment implementations, and scalable workflows. My work has reduced churn through billing optimization and machine-learning-supported strategies, increased renewal rates by 20%, and expanded payment methods and market reach to support customer acquisition.
Earlier at Arvato, I combined UX, analytics, process design, and usability testing to improve dashboards, online shops, affiliate collaboration, and customer journeys. I enjoy turning complex requirements into practical, user-centered solutions across sales and service teams.
