Bio

🚀 Customer support leader | Process architect | Strategic problem-solver From startup pioneer to scaling powerhouse, I’ve built customer support teams and processes from scratch, helping businesses grow from early-stage ventures to industry leaders. As Head of Customer Support at lempire, I played a pivotal role in scaling our CS department from only myself to 90+ people in the company, while consistently maintaining a CSAT above 97% year after year. My leadership style is rooted in strategic team management, hiring and training, operational excellence, and a relentless focus on customer success. 🔥 Key achievements: ✅ Built and optimized full CS processes and documentation for lempire’s flagship products and acquisitions. ✅ Maintained an industry-leading 97%+ CSAT across thousands of interactions. ✅ Closed gaps in MRR to catch up with churn, bridging lost revenue through proactive customer engagement. ✅ Spearheaded new CS teams, for acquired companies, defining their product bible, workflows, and strategy from the ground up. ✅ Led key strategic initiatives, including lemlist Academy and international KAM support. ✅ Introduced structured communication frameworks, boosting team efficiency and response quality. ✅ Built a high-performing team, with stellar individual and team-wide KPIs. Beyond support, I’m a cross-functional team player—partnering with product, sales, and marketing to align customer insights with business growth. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments where customer experience, retention, and operational excellence drive competitive advantage. 💡 If you're looking for a customer support leader who can advise you on how to scale teams, optimize processes, and turn CS into a growth engine, let’s connect!

Expertise

    Built few customer support teams. From picking the right tools and setting OKR's to creating full processes and documentation from scratch. I’ve hired and mentored top talent and built high-performing teams that scale with the company’s growth.

  • Career guidance

    Successfully transitioned from sales to support, afterwards shaping position for myself that actually covers both. Built my expertise from the ground up, and grew into a leadership role in the saas industry. As a woman in IT, I’ve navigated challenges, learned to stand out, and continuously developing my skills to shape my career on my own terms.

  • Email marketing

    Working at lemlist, a platform built for email outreach, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t. Over the years, I’ve not only helped numerous clients improve their results but also indirectly shaped lemlist itself—through feedback, strategy insights, and hands-on support.

    Created and managed a global customer support team at lempire, scaling from 6 to 90+ people while keeping efficiency and culture strong. I’ve optimized processes and maintained top performance - all while working remotely myself.
