@leighveghte
Client-focused onboarding and customer success specialist driving seamless implementations and retention.
What I'm looking for
I am a client-focused professional with extensive experience in onboarding, customer success, project coordination, and sales. I specialize in managing implementations, ensuring data integrity, and delivering smooth client experiences that support retention and growth.
At McGriff, I led benefit platform onboarding, created client education materials, and coordinated engagement initiatives to boost adoption. Previously, at Paychex I managed a portfolio of over 350 clients, mentored staff as a Team Lead, and supported revenue acceleration through upselling.
My event experience with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Professional Golf Events sharpened my ability to execute high-pressure, large-scale events, handle complex customer service issues, and manage logistics from setup to breakdown. I also developed marketing collateral and negotiated contracts for sponsorships and auctions.
I have a strong foundation in cross-functional collaboration, technical documentation, CRM systems like Salesforce, Microsoft Office, and modern AI tools. I am committed to optimizing workflows, training teams, and delivering measurable client satisfaction outcomes.
