About

Do you have a leaky bucket? Would you like some help to grow your customers? I have over seven years of leadership experience in customer success, with a focus on HR and SaaS solutions. As the VP of Customer Success at HR Acuity, I led a team of customer success managers who helped their clients achieve their goals and optimize their employee relations outcomes. I have contributed to double-digit growth and world-class retention retention, delivering an NRR above 107%. This was achieved by developing and implementing best practices and processes and enhancing the product and service offerings. My strong background in communication and leadership is driven by a deep passion for building long-term relationships with customers. I am committed to ensuring their success and satisfaction, and I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies to better serve them. I value collaboration, innovation, and diversity, and I strive to create a positive and inclusive culture within my team and across the organization.
