What I'm looking for

I am seeking a customer success or IAM role in a global organization where I can apply my client management, cybersecurity, and financial markets expertise to improve retention, drive value realization, and grow into broader leadership responsibilities.

I am a proactive customer success professional with over four years of experience in the financial industry, combining client management with IT and cybersecurity expertise to deliver secure, high-value experiences.

I have led remote teams, driven customer retention, and improved operational efficiency—achieving a 95% satisfaction rate on escalations, a 90% client retention rate, a 15% reduction in unauthorized access through RBAC, and strengthening system security by 20% after IT control improvements.

I seek to leverage my expertise in IAM, risk mitigation, and financial markets (including forex) to maximize customer value and contribute to a global organization's growth while continuing to grow into broader leadership responsibilities.
