@kellypineda1
I build scalable customer success and onboarding programs that improve retention, adoption, and time-to-value.
What I'm looking for
At Ontra, I lead onboarding for a team of six Customer Success professionals, owning post-sale lifecycle outcomes from implementation through adoption, retention, and data digitization. I built the team’s first dedicated management structure, including individualized development plans that led to an internal promotion within two months.
I’ve designed onboarding tracks and product-launch motions that improved time-to-value and achieved an average Onboarding CSAT of 4.52. I also established Gainsight data standards and account-health playbooks to help teams identify risk proactively and improve retention.
Previously, I owned Customer Success Enablement at Ontra, scaled teams through onboarding and coaching, and reduced new-hire ramp time by 50%. Across Ontra and Morningstar, I’ve managed strategic client relationships, led complex implementations, built playbooks and SOPs, and partnered with Product, Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to turn customer feedback into stronger experiences and growth opportunities.
