About

Twenty years of keeping security customers successful

Customer success in enterprise security, from account management to team leadership.

I am a customer success manager who has spent my career in enterprise cybersecurity, working across network detection, SIEM, endpoint, DLP, email security, and identity.

I carry renewal and expansion quotas on Fortune 500 portfolios up to $55M ARR. Most of my work is with CISOs and SOC leaders, connecting what the product does to things they care about: detection coverage, analyst workload, and whether the contract renews.

My approach is practical. I find the risk early, put a name on who owns each next step, and measure the result. I have also led teams, including scaling one from 8 to 17 direct reports.
