Esther Chineme
@estherchineme
Customer Success Manager driving NRR, retention, and customer advocacy across SaaS and banking.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Customer Success Manager with 8+ years of progressive experience driving customer retention, net revenue retention (NRR), and satisfaction across B2B and B2C environments in SaaS, Banking, EdTech, and professional services.
I lead high-performance CS teams and build scalable onboarding frameworks that reduce time-to-value. I also run structured Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to deepen relationships, secure renewals, and proactively manage churn risk.
In my recent work, I designed and executed a B2B beta onboarding program that enrolled 100 testers within 48 hours—compressing feedback cycles while accelerating product iteration. I’ve also leveraged early customer health indicators from user interaction data to flag at-risk accounts and align execution with retention goals.
My track record includes managing portfolios of 10+ programmes and consistently delivering outcomes like 96%+ CSAT, 50%+ retention growth, and 80%+ conversion rates. I balance data and customer experience—combining CRM-driven health scoring and pipeline reporting with voice-of-customer research and customer journey mapping to build customer advocacy at scale.
