What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior technical leadership role blending customer success, SaaS operations, and cybersecurity upskilling within an agile, growth-oriented organization.

I am an experienced IT Consultant with 16+ years specializing in Agile Project Management, Application Maintenance, and Customer Success.

I have led customer success and technical support teams to measurable outcomes, achieving a 90% first-time resolution rate, an 85% customer satisfaction score, a 20% increase in customer lifetime value, and a 25% improvement in customer retention.

My technical strengths include automation and tooling using Python, PowerShell, Shell scripting, PL/SQL, Control-M, and reporting with JIRA and Excel, and I have designed cloud sizing and monitoring solutions that cut manual effort and improved operational efficiency.

I am currently upskilling in cybersecurity (CEH, CISM) and seek senior technical leadership roles where I can combine customer success, operational excellence, and InfoSec discipline to drive product adoption and reduce risk.
