Shelby Burbach
@shelbyburbach
I build and scale customer operations, support teams, and product feedback loops for early-stage startups.
What I'm looking for
I've built customer operations from the ground up at Galleon and Curve, establishing inbound support structures, leading bug triage, and turning customer feedback into product improvements. At Curve, I built the US support function as the first support hire and managed a 14-member offshore CX team.
I'm currently supporting inbound sales, tenant technical support, software testing, and 400+ weekly tickets at StoreEase. I bring hands-on experience with Zendesk, Salesforce, user research, QA, B2B outreach, and fast-moving startup environments.
