Senior Client Success Manager @ Evermed
About
Senior Client Success leader with 13+ years driving $5M+ revenue growth and 95%+ customer retention and CSAT scores in several roles, through real care for customers. I have a passion for helping others, which customers can feel and they see how much I truly care for their success. I'm an expert at turning customer relationships at SaaS/eCommerce firms into long-term partnerships that drive retention and revenue. I also love being a product expert and helping customers succeed through onboarding, training, adoption, engagement, retention, renewals, expansions, or whatever they need! I've built and worked in Customer Success and Partner Success functions from the ground up, focused on learning the ideal customer journey for each platform I've represented and really understanding customers' challenges and roadblocks. I then work strategically to remove those hurdles and work with my customers and partners together on our joint success. I'm all for being on the same page and treating customer relationships as partnerships! I've held portfolios of up to 300+ accounts and $1.5M+ ARR, including multinational enterprises with $500K+ deals. One of those $500K+ accounts was a multinational enterprise client that was having issues with our company's design process, which I updated to tailor our approach to them specifically to make sure their needs were met, leading to winning the BigCommerce 2024 Best Customer Award in Design! Through managing global teams I've implemented several well performing Customer Success & Partner Success programs and specialize in creating engagement to transform that into a revenue driver. I do this by building scalable frameworks such as automated health tracking for customers (Activity/GRR/NRR/CSAT/PSAT/NPS/RPS) to help us be proactive. I also always focus on long term goals and strategy, to make sure I get ahead of any potential issues with customers. I'm also a Certified Customer Success Specialist (CCSS) and continuously focus on my growth and development! Whether handing a portfolio of customers or partners myself because I like to be on the front lines, leading Customer Success and Partner Success teams, or winning industry awards for customer delivery, my focus is always on the long-term value for customers and partners. They always come first! On a personal note, I love my friends & family (including my cat), music, sports, travel, and technology!
