Good news! Your candidate search just got shorter… I'm a revenue-driving people-person with 18 years of experience across customer success, sales, and marketing, backed by sharp communication skills and a natural sociability that even caught the attention of Reuters and CBC during the Paris Olympics.
I thrive in client-facing roles where creative strategy meets commercial results. I lead with data-informed conversations, build long-term partnerships, and drive measurable growth… sound like something your company needs? Let’s talk!
Over the last decade, I helped scale a high-growth SaaS startup from bootstrapped beginnings through acquisition and US$65M in investments. As the company evolved, so did I, progressing from strategic copywriter to business development rep to customer success manager, ultimately managing a US$2.4M enterprise portfolio including renewal, expansion, and proactive escalation management.
Today, I seek customer-focused opportunities combining creativity, account strategy, and clear performance targets, particularly with high-visibility brands in travel, culture, athletics, sport, toys, media, and entertainment. If you’re building something ambitious, let's start the conversation.
