They want strategic partnerships that drive measurable outcomes, proactive relationship management that anticipates their needs, and data-driven insights that influence their business decisions.

That's what I deliver as a Client Success Manager by:

🎯 Driving revenue growth through strategic account management and expansion initiatives 
📊 Leveraging data storytelling to make compelling recommendations that influence stakeholder decisions
🤝 Building trusted advisor relationships at all organizational levels through active listening and stakeholder-focused communication

I was inspired to focus on client success after overcoming two malignant brain tumors at 15, learning what's possible when teams align around common goals with clear communication and mutual support. 

This experience shaped my approach to:

Strategic relationship building - I connect clients with network resources beyond my scope, becoming their go-to trusted advisor for business challenges.

Cross-functional collaboration - I excel at facilitating communication between departments, ensuring seamless client experiences while keeping projects on budget and timeline.

Proactive account management - I treat challenges as opportunities, using analytical skills to identify solutions before they become problems. (Pivoted a critical La Familia anti-Fentanyl campaign after major stakeholder departure, leading cross-functional teams to successful regionwide deployment.)

Product expertise and translation - I absorb complex technical knowledge and translate it into revenue-driving outcomes for diverse decision-makers. (Helped Enovix distill 45-minute technical explanations into compelling 2-minute stories, supporting their $1.13B SPAC and $250M Army contract.)

Client retention and satisfaction - I genuinely celebrate when stakeholder connections I facilitate lead to breakthrough partnerships and business wins.

I host The Human Connection Podcast, exploring how companies build high-retention relationships that drive sustainable growth. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-human-connection-podcast/id1789888599)

This actually matters.

Men -- including myself -- need to step up and demand accountability from those in power.

I like making mistakes, money, and more mistakes :) 
I am a startup/business consultant, wannabe humorist, and perpetually wearing a suit. 
I primarily use LinkedIn to meet interesting people, share ideas on the future of work/economy/technology, and continue in any engaging conversations offline.
I’m also addicted to the “haha” reaction here on LinkedIn. 😆 

I am involved in all phases of a company's growth. Whether you're struggling to find a product-market fit, finding ways to engage your customers, seeking funding, or preparing for an acquisition, we can definitely help!

As a CFO advisor, we also help with complicated finance stacks, FP&A, M&A, KPI dashboards, complex tax issues, and a bunch of other "boring" stuff :)
