Leah Bilen
@leahbilen
I lead fintech and SaaS teams that grow revenue, improve operations, and strengthen customer outcomes.
What I'm looking for
At OCM Auto Financing Group, I lead a team of 10 collections professionals, improving day-to-day accounts receivable operations through coaching, reporting, account reviews, and direct resolution of sensitive customer issues.
Previously at Comodo, I led sales strategy for the Turkish market and doubled reseller revenue. I also delivered 40% individual and 27% overall sales growth during an economic downturn, won a major Turkish government bank as a client, and helped improve sales-team performance by 50%.
I bridge sales strategy with operational execution, using data to identify performance gaps, build scalable processes, and turn customer challenges into actionable outcomes. My leadership style is people-first: I coach teams, build trust, and develop long-term customer relationships.
With experience across fintech, SaaS, sales, collections, and customer service, I'm interested in customer-focused growth roles where I can contribute to revenue expansion, team development, and long-term customer success. I work in English, French, and Turkish.
