Career Timeline

Decision Lens 2015 โ€” Present
Sr. CSM โ†’ Assoc. Director โ†’ Director of CS โ†’ VP of Customer Success โ†’ Director of Customer Experience
The Stage

Decision Lens powers decision-making for Federal, State & Local Government agencies, giving leaders the data and frameworks to justify, defend, and optimize high-stakes financial planning & analysis that covers multi-billion dollar budget decision making.

My Part

Over 10 years and five progressive roles, I owned the SLED vertical end-to-end, building and leading the customer organization responsible for ensuring State, Local, and Education government agencies realized measurable value from the platform. My scope extended well beyond post-sale: partnering with Sales, Product, and Executive leadership on Go-to-Market strategy including value proposition development, customer segmentation, and growth metrics, while overseeing pre-sales solution scoping, Solutions Consulting, and coaching the team on translating complex FP&A and budget challenges into compelling platform narratives. From onboarding the company's largest state-level deployment to pioneering an AI-enabled service delivery framework, my work translated platform capability into outcomes: driving 90%+ renewal rates, exceeding ARR targets, and scaling a team that became the connective tissue between what government customers needed and what the product became.

The Philosophy

Customer success lives at the intersection of technology and advocacy. The decade that built that belief started earlier, in IT project management, where no rollout succeeded on technical merit alone.


It's a company strategy, not a department. My approach centers on building systems that scale: automating the repetitive, empowering teams to focus on the human work that actually moves the needle.


I've spent a decade and a half at the intersection of technology, people, and revenue, translating customer reality into product direction, and product capability into outcomes that renew and expand.


The best CS organizations feel inevitable to their customers. That's what I build.
