What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior customer success or operations leadership role at a growth-stage SaaS or B2B company where I can lead international teams, scale onboarding, reduce churn, and increase customer lifetime value. Open to hybrid, remote, or relocation.

I am a customer-centric executive with over 15 years leading international B2B operations, account management, and post-sales success across EMEA, LATAM, North America and APAC.

I drive retention and revenue growth through tailored onboarding, proactive support, CRM optimization (SAP, HubSpot, Oracle Retail), and data-driven playbooks—managing multicultural teams and a revenue portfolio exceeding $54M.

My track record includes reducing costs via strategic sourcing (15%), improving operational efficiency through SAP implementation (25%), cutting production costs over 20%, and expanding export sales 2.5x by entering four new countries. I seek roles that let me scale customer success and operational excellence.
