Most companies don’t lose customers at renewal.
They lose them months earlier, when customer momentum slows, value becomes unclear, adoption stalls, and nobody owns the signal.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲.

I’m a 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 with 10+ years across 𝗦𝗮𝗮𝗦, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵, 𝗗𝗫𝗣, and technical customer operations, supporting enterprise and mid-market customers across 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗔, 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲, 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮, and 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮.
I move Customer Success from reactive account management into a growth engine built around 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹𝘀, and 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁:
When customers drift, I read the signals early and turn potential churn into a renewed path to value.
When C-level stakeholders need more than an account update, I bring strategic context, business outcomes, and a point of view that earns trust.
When Product, Engineering, and customers are not aligned, I bring customer truth into roadmap conversations and make sure what ships moves the needle.
When adoption stalls, I design enablement programs, training, and success plans that turn passive users into confident advocates.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:
🔹 𝟯𝟮% 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 by redesigning how customers reach value, adopt the product, and stay engaged beyond onboarding
🔹 𝟭𝟴% 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 by identifying account risk early and intervening with focused recovery actions
🔹 𝟮𝟮% 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 by turning customer feedback into product improvements, enablement, and measurable usage outcomes
🔹 𝟯𝟬% 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 by translating customer pain into clear engineering priorities that Product and Engineering can act on

𝗠𝘆 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲:
Strategic CS leadership with technical fluency across 𝗦𝗤𝗟, 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻, 𝗔𝗜-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀, and the full 𝗖𝗦 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸.
Bilingual in 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵, rooted in 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗔, and trusted across global markets where complexity is high and reactive thinking is expensive.

I’m looking for 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗦𝗠, 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗦𝗠, 𝗖𝗦 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱, or 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗦 roles where I’m not just protecting revenue, but shaping how the customer motion is built, measured, and scaled.
