Senior Manager – Customer Success / Product Management @ Ceipal

About

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work across Operations, Customer Success, and Product Management, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of both business and customer needs. I started my career with Cognizant, where I worked on onboarding and training-related initiatives, including new hire orientation, training coordination, business review reporting, and collaborating with leadership teams to identify training needs. For the past 6+ years, I have been with CEIPAL. I initially worked in Customer Success, partnering with clients to understand their business challenges, improve product adoption, and drive successful outcomes. Working closely with customers gave me valuable insights into how products are used in the real world and the impact they can have on day-to-day operations. Since 2024, I have been working with the Product Management team, focusing on requirement analysis, evaluating enhancement requests, production issue management, and collaborating with Engineering, QA, Customer Success, and other stakeholders to help deliver meaningful product improvements. What I enjoy most is understanding a problem from both the customer and business perspectives and working with teams to find practical, scalable solutions. Areas of interest: Product Management, Requirements Analysis, Stakeholder Management, Customer Experience, and SaaS Products. Always open to connecting with professionals in Product, SaaS, and HRTech.
