What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive retention and expansion through customer-first strategy, scalable playbooks, and process improvement—partnering cross-functionally to elevate the customer experience and deliver measurable growth.

I’m a dynamic Customer Success leader with 17+ years across Customer Success, escalation management, customer advocacy, support, and professional services. I’m known for strengthening relationships and continuously improving processes to deliver measurable outcomes—always with the voice of the customer at the center.

In my current role as Head of Solutions (within Customer Success), I lead a global team of Solution Architects and scaled 26+ strategic playbooks to increase onboarding efficiency, boost NPS from -25 to 85.7, and improve delivery capacity. Previously, I led enterprise Customer Success motions managing a $16M+ ARR portfolio with 92%+ renewals, and I introduced AI-driven workflows and automation to accelerate efficiency and identify risk/expansion opportunities.
