Helping B2B SaaS companies turn Customer Success into a scalable, revenue-driving function.
Customer Success advisory and fractional engagements for growth-stage B2B SaaS companies.
Practical frameworks and tools for CS leaders who need to diagnose problems, redesign coverage models, and build organizations that scale.
20 Years. One Focus.
Building Customer Success organizations that actually scale.
I’ve spent 20 years helping B2B SaaS and Health Tech companies operating in mission-critical environments build and scale Customer Success — from early-stage growth through complex, multi-segment environments.
What I’ve seen repeatedly: Customer Success problems are rarely caused by effort alone. More often they come from unclear ownership, poor prioritization, weak segmentation, and misaligned expectations between teams and customers. My work is about bringing structure to that complexity — and building CS organizations that can actually scale.
Across multiple leadership roles I’ve helped scale CS organizations supporting growth from $5M to $700M+ ARR, managing $350M+ ARR across thousands of customers spanning enterprise, SMB, and digital/scaled segments.
- Reduced churn by as much as 27% while achieving 98% customer retention
- Maintained 110%+ NRR through focused expansion strategy
- Delivered 50–65% above expansion targets for 3 consecutive years
- Built segmentation and coverage models that scaled with growth
- Aligned CS with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Operations
- Drove practical AI adoption to improve team efficiency and customer outcomes
My approach is direct, pragmatic, and rooted in what actually works at scale.
Alongside advisory work, I develop practical frameworks and tools that CS leaders can use immediately — built from the same operational principles I apply in advisory engagements.
