Turning Strategic Relationships Into Revenue | Partnerships, Account Management & Customer Success | PropTech & Real Estate SaaS | Licensed Broker
What I'm looking for
Eight years across PropTech, Real Estate SaaS, and customer success. Relationships done right, drive revenue.
I've managed enterprise portfolios worth $1.4M+ per quarter at companies like Trustpilot, BiggerPockets, HomeLight, and Signpost maintaining retention above 97% by showing up consistently, understanding the business deeply, and treating every account like it matters. Because it does.
I build partner programs, navigate complex renewals, and turn at-risk accounts into long-term advocates. I also hold an active real estate broker license in Colorado, which means I understand the industry I sell into.
What drives me beyond the work itself is finding a company building something that actually matters and that I care about. A mission worth showing up for, and a team that takes pride in what they're creating together.
