Customer Success Manager, Onboarding & Retention Specialist.
If new customers stall out during onboarding, or renewals start feeling uncertain, that's usually where SaaS revenue slowly leaks.
I'm a Customer Success Manager who specializes in one thing: turning the first 90 days into long-term retention for small and mid-size SaaS teams. That means I own onboarding, account management, and customer support end to end.
I build the CRM systems, escalation paths, and check-in cadences that keep customers engaged well after the contract is signed. If you need someone who takes full ownership of client onboarding and retention without hand-holding, that is my strenght.
In one recent account, I inherited a client who was close to churning because onboarding had gone poorly. I rebuilt the onboarding playbook around that client's actual business goal, put a proactive check-in cadence in place, and tracked usage against a specific outcome. Over the next six months, the account grew by 44 percent and NPS went up alongside it. That's the kind of work I do for every account I own, not a one-time save.
WHAT I OWN FOR YOU
★Customer Onboarding
I build structured onboarding programs that get customers to their first real result fast, so early adoption sticks instead of stalling out.
★Account Management
I own the full client relationship, health scoring, renewal conversations, and expansion opportunities, so nothing depends on someone chasing me for updates.
★Customer Support
I handle tickets, live chat, and email support directly, and I know the difference between escalating something that's actually stuck and handling it myself.
★Retention & Renewal Strategy
I track churn risk before it becomes a churn conversation, and I bring clients a plan before they have to ask for one.
★Reporting & Process Building
I set up the SOPs, trackers, and reporting rhythms (SLA, CSAT, NPS) that let a CS function scale without everything running through one person's memory.

MY AVAILABILITY
I take on both full account ownership for ongoing retention work and shorter onboarding-focused projects. Long-term contracts, fractional CS support, and one-off onboarding builds are all a fit.
Send me a message or invite me to your job post and tell me what's going on with your accounts right now. I respond immediately.
Research shows that acquiring a new customer, cost significantly more than retaining an existing one. Customers don't stay because they bought your product. They stay 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿. I can help retain your customers.

A customer's first few weeks often determine whether they'll stay or churn (cancel).
I create smooth onboarding experiences that help customers:
• Understand your product faster
• Reach their first success milestone sooner
• Increase product adoption
• Reduce onboarding friction
• Improve Time-to-Value (TTV)
