Summary

I am a highly committed Customer Success professional committed to the customer adoption lifecycle. I view customer ROI as a key component in reducing churn, maximising renewal and optimising upsell.

I build strong business relationships based on trust, follow-up and follow through. Authenticity and transparency underpin my approach to business.

My strengths lie with my interpersonal skills and ability to build rapport. I am an excellent communicator and have a strong people focus. I am adaptable, with a 'can do' approach and bring others on the journey with me.
