Led a global team of over 45 members, which included Project Managers, Business/Technical/Data Consultants, and Trainers, successfully achieving a customer utilization rate of 75%. I managed the development and documentation of our onboarding and service delivery processes, using tools such as Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, and Monday.com. Additionally, I oversaw our global support team using Zendesk.I introduced Success Plans that merged Customer Success, Support, and Professional Services into annual subscriptions. This initiative drove increased ARR and refined Firstup's service offerings and positioning. By defining and selling implementation setup tiers and subscription services, I was able to boost our service revenue from $3M to over $13M with a 57% margin.At Firstup, I expanded the team from 8 to 35 members, optimizing the structure with strategic promotions and hires while grooming a successor to manage the growing service volumes and customer base effectively. I instituted a structured implementation methodology led by a PMO, featuring template project plans and collaborative refinement. This approach resulted in iterative enhancements and improved time-to-value metrics, now in its third major release (3.0).To address customer dissatisfaction, I engaged directly with clients, offering reassurance, clarification, or complimentary services as needed. This approach ensured high satisfaction levels and emphasized follow-through for continued positive relationships.
