Head of Customer Success · NRR, retention & post-sale teams at scale

About

I build customer success orgs that move net revenue retention, not just CSAT. Twelve years across B2B SaaS — currently running a 32-person post-sale team behind a $48M book at 121% NRR. I measure success in renewals, expansion, and the leaders I grow inside the team.
