Customer support and retention leader scaling global teams with KPI ownership and measurable CSAT.
What I'm looking for
Support queues are where customer trust is won or lost, and I’ve spent 15+ years building the operating machinery that makes performance predictable and measurable. I turn chaos into structure through SLAs, routing, QA, and reporting—so teams can execute with clarity and customers feel it.
At Seeking Alpha, I scaled a fully remote global support team to 20+ specialists and 3 team leaders. I owned every team KPI—CSAT, NPS, first-response time, resolution rate, ticket volume, SLA adherence, and revenue targets—while sustaining CSAT above 95% across consecutive years.
I also helped evolve the function from pure support into a sales and retention engine. Through structured sales motions, retention playbooks, and targeted outreach, I drove $8.5M in combined upsell, cross-sell, and retained subscription revenue, while leading the migration to HubSpot CRM with custom workflows and reporting dashboards.
Earlier roles reinforced my focus on coaching, quality, and repeatable systems. At DSNR, I progressed from supervisor to retention manager, leading a multilingual team of 25–30 and personally retaining $2M+ in at-risk revenue, and at ePlane and MEMO Global I built HubSpot-based support infrastructure and training/QA practices that standardized performance under real legal, security, and privacy constraints.
