Zach Zumpano
@zachzumpano
Customer Success leader building retention-first onboarding and coaching teams for customer value. Sales and Change Management background.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Customer Success and Onboarding specialist with 10+ years helping companies keep the customers they worked hard to win.
I've rebuilt onboarding programs from scratch, managed large account books, coached CS teams to above-target results, and led a 122-person CRM transformation at Nike EMEA. At Empire Flippers I advised founders through some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I achieved top earner for two consecutive quarters.
I work best where there's a real problem to solve and cross-functional buy-in to fix it. I'm an operator: I build things that actually get used. I enjoy intense 1:1 client interactions, be it sales, customer success, or advising.
Open to CS, Onboarding, Account Management, and RevOps roles at growing companies — Series A to C preferred. Remote, EMEA timezone, full-time, part-time, or project-based.
