With over a decade of experience in Customer Success, I’ve made it my mission to help startup founders and aspiring CSMs build unshakable CS strategies that drive growth. From aligning cross-functional teams to delivering measurable results in retention and expansion, I bring a practical, no-nonsense approach to scaling CS operations. As a CS community builder (CS Connect) and thought leader, I’m passionate about empowering the next generation of CS leaders to embrace bold, data-driven strategies that move beyond survival mode and into growth and impact. Customer Success is no longer just about support—it’s a growth engine. And, I believe 2025 is the year CS steps into the spotlight. I’m here to help build the CS leaders of tomorrow, armed with data, strategy, and a bold, unapologetic approach. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s make it happen.

What content can you expect?

Expect a power-packed agenda focused on helping you level up your Customer Success strategy. We’ve got something for everyone—from practical workshops on retention, expansion, and data-driven decision-making, to strategic insights on building scalable CS operations and improving executive presence. You’ll also dive into cutting-edge topics like AI in CS, community-led growth, and leadership development. Every session is designed to give you tangible takeaways that you can start applying in your organization tomorrow.

Who is this track for?

The Customer Success track is designed for individual contributors and leaders ready to stop playing defence and take bold steps toward driving real impact in 2025.
