About
Relationship-driven account management professional with 10+ years leading customer-facing operations across enterprise SaaS platforms — from hands-on portfolio ownership through building and leading teams.
Skilled at owning the full account lifecycle: monitoring health signals, driving renewals and expansion opportunities, and translating technical detail into business value for both end users and executive stakeholders. Comfortable operating with ambiguity in fast-scaling, technical environments, and practiced at building the cross-functional relationships — with product, engineering, and support — that keep accounts healthy, satisfied, and growing.
