Data, Reporting & Performance Management

• Leading the Renewals team and partnering with sales teams to drive expansion opportunities and maximize lifetime value.  
• Proactively identify churn risks through health, adoption, and engagement signals; implement targeted save plans to mitigate attrition.

• Drive a consistent operating cadence (e.g., pipeline reviews, business reviews) to assess customer health, renewal forecasts, and team performance; coach proactively and enforce accountability.  
• Ensure CRM hygiene and data integrity (e.g., Salesforce), enabling accurate forecasting, renewal visibility, and revenue reporting.  
• Analyze systemic risks and performance trends, translating insights into process improvements, playbook enhancements, and program investments.  
• Oversee automated customer engagement programs (e.g., campaigns, webinars, lifecycle education, newsletters) to scale impact and drive adoption.  
• Communicate performance, risks, and strategic recommendations clearly to GTM and Executive Leadership, ensuring alignment and informed decision-making.
