CSM Coach · Recruiter · Community Builder

  • 14 months as Founder Success Manager at Founder OS
  • 4+ years in high-ticket sales, $1.5M+ in revenue
  • Founder of CSM Collective (200+ members)
  • Active CSM recruiter & talent connector
  • Weekly free coaching calls for CSMs

I've Made This Transition. I Know the Path.

I'm a former high-ticket sales professional who transitioned into Customer Success Management — so I know exactly what it feels like to have the skills but not the roadmap. I spent 14 months as a Founder Success Manager inside Founder OS, one of the world's top personal branding programs, working with hundreds of founders globally.

I founded CSM Collective to close the gap between talented people and the CS roles they deserve. The community has grown to 200+ members, and I run free weekly coaching calls open to every member — because great support shouldn't stop after a program ends.

Whether you're my coaching client or a company I'm recruiting for, you work directly with me. No handoffs. No junior team members. Just someone who's been where you are and knows exactly how to get you where you want to go.
