EXPERIENCE
Aurea Software
Customer Success Manager
I personally manage over $18,600,000 in ARR Accounts. Including accounts with Verizon, Scotiabank, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Prudential, Intuit, and Motorola. In this role, I am my customer’s champion from start to finish. I owned the most critical aspect of the business: customer satisfaction. My relationships with customers began at the close of a sale. I then worked with our internal teams to ensure that their processes are meeting the needs of the customer. I also grow existing accounts and utilize my skills in both cross- selling and upselling. I thrive by being a master in customer-facing communication, relationship management, and working quickly with internal teams to deliver results. I was predictably and consistently in the lead in all metrics including, Customer Satisfaction (NPS), Account Growth
(Revenue), referrals to sales, and completely positive testimonials. I am by any measure Aurea's best Customer Success Manager. When I arrived each and every account was in danger of being lost. Through hard work and skill, I was able to turn the irate customers into completely satisfied customers. I am the one trusted with the most difficult and highest ARR customers.
