About

I am a Revenue, Customer, and Services Executive who builds and transforms customer, account, and services organizations that protect recurring revenue, expand accounts, and improve outcomes from implementation through renewal. I operate across Professional Services, Account Management, Customer Success, Support, Renewals, and Value Realization. Throughout my career, I have led and scaled teams responsible for strategic accounts, delivery governance, adoption, expansion, renewals, and operating performance across SaaS, platform, AI, and services businesses. My operating style is grounded in clear ownership, predictive execution, cross-functional alignment, and repeatable playbooks. I build AI-enabled operating models that combine customer telemetry, commercial data, support signals, sentiment, predictive health scoring, and executive governance to identify risk earlier, improve renewal predictability, and prioritize expansion. I am a builder, and my passion is turning fragmented post-sale motions into durable growth engines. Value Creation Highlights: Customer & Revenue Scale: Built a global customer organization from the ground up to 100+ resources, supporting a business that scaled to $400M+ ARR while delivering 112%+ NRR. Commercial Transformation: Overhauled the post-sale motion across a $280M ARR account base, reducing late renewals by 88% and capturing $10.5M in price uplift and expansion upsell; turned around a declining $60M ARR region into the top-performing market unit at 121% of target. Services Excellence: Led a 100+ resource Professional Services organization, standardizing workflows, content, and accelerators to reduce strategic supplier time-to-value by 33% while improving delivery throughput and consistency. AI-Enabled Operations: Embedded AI, analytics, and customer telemetry into customer operating workflows to improve risk detection, forecast accuracy, proactive engagement, and executive decision-making. Operating Transformation: Directed 200+ adoption and value realization professionals globally at SAP, consolidating 11 disparate teams into a unified cloud adoption framework to strengthen renewal execution, governance, and customer outcomes. I believe AI will fundamentally redefine Customer Success, Account Management, Professional Services, Support, and Renewals into accountable, metrics-driven growth functions delivering measurable customer and business outcomes - not reactive support organizations.
