Having transitioned from the Customer team to the Product/Support team as the Global Team Leader, I gained a comprehensive perspective from the customer's point of view as well as insights into the processes of the onboarding, delivery, and product teams. Having worked closely with all these teams in the past, I was able to understand the dynamics and interdependencies between them, with Support serving as a central hub. Managing a high volume of support tickets from over 16,000 businesses across 100 Marketplacers, our small Australian-based team expanded over the years into a global team comprising over 20 members spread across the U.S.A, UK, Philippines, and Australia. As part of my role, I played a key role in expanding the team of 3 Australian-based team members to a robust global team of 20 by implementing strategic measures and identifying opportunities for process improvement within the technical support function. By implementing best practices, streamlining workflows, and optimizing support procedures, we were able to significantly enhance team efficiency and drive customer satisfaction. Through these efforts, we successfully scaled the team to meet the growing demands of the business while ensuring high-quality support delivery.

I started my career at Marketplacer as a Customer Success Manager, where I was responsible for overseeing the entire customer journey. This included engaging with customers during the pre-sales phase, facilitating their onboarding, ensuring their site was ready for launch, and serving as their primary point of contact after going live. Additionally, I conducted weekly strategic sessions to maintain consistent communication and support, & helped establish the functions and processes we still use today.
