AI-enabled customer success and GTM transformation leader driving revenue expansion.
What I'm looking for
I am an executive leader with 15+ years driving enterprise adoption, retention, and revenue expansion across Technology and Financial Services, focused on using AI to accelerate customer growth and maximize lifetime value.
At LinkedIn I led AI-enabled customer success strategies that activated $3.2M in net-new pipeline and increased platform adoption 20% year-over-year; earlier roles at Merrill Lynch and BlackRock scaled digital adoption to 10,000+ advisors and supported national product launches.
I partner with C-suite stakeholders to design GTM and retention strategies that reduce churn, expand ARR, and transform go-to-market performance, and I regularly present at global summits and industry conferences to share pragmatic, data-driven playbooks.
