Strategic proposal

Customer Success Transformation

Developed and led a future-state transformation initiative focused on organizational design, operating principles, scalable processes, and practical AI adoption within Customer Success.

Initiated in November 2025 as part of a broader Customer Success transformation effort, this proposal captured my thinking around organizational structure, operating principles, automation opportunities, and scalable ways of working.

The initiative was developed during a period of organizational change and reflects the approach I take when bringing structure to ambiguity and designing practical operating models for growth.
