About Me

I am a Customer Support and Customer Experience executive with 15+ years of experience building and scaling high-performing support organizations across fast-growing direct-to-consumer, eCommerce, subscription, nutrition, supplements, SaaS, and technology businesses.

Most recently, as Sr. Director of Customer Support at Ka’Chava, I scaled the support function from a 1-agent operation to 95+ agents at peak growth, led operations through 1.5M+ resolved customer tickets, and maintained 89%+ CSAT across a high-volume nutrition, meal replacement, and subscription commerce environment.

My work sits at the intersection of customer operations, support strategy, AI-enabled self-service, Zendesk optimization, workforce planning, vendor leadership, KPI development, and Voice of Customer programs. I help companies turn support from a reactive function into a scalable operating system for customer trust, retention, and growth.

Executive Focus

After more than 15 years in customer support, customer experience, and support operations leadership, my next chapter is focused on broader executive ownership across Customer Experience, Customer Operations, Support, and Voice of Customer strategy.

I am especially interested in VP, Head of Customer Experience, Head of Customer Operations, and Chief Customer Officer-track roles where I can help high-growth DTC, eCommerce, subscription, nutrition, supplements, wellness, SaaS, and technology businesses scale customer-facing teams, modernize support through AI and self-service, improve operational efficiency, and turn customer insight into better product, retention, and business decisions.

My goal is to lead customer organizations that are not just cost centers, but strategic engines for trust, loyalty, retention, and growth.
