Retention illusion
Churn is treated as an industry rate. Preventable revenue loss becomes an accepted cost of doing business.
I am Senior Vice President & Co-Head of Global Client Services at Cvent and a member of its Executive Committee, leading a 1,200+ global organisation across Customer Success, Support, Professional Services, Managed Services and CS Operations. Over 25+ years, I have led customer experience and global operations, with earlier senior leadership roles at EXL and Sitel.

THE WORK
Winning the contract is only the beginning. The economics that follow depend on whether customers realise value, renew, expand and receive the right level of service at the right cost.
Across global SaaS environments, I work with teams across functions and regions to connect retention, expansion, service delivery and technology. The operating challenge is to make the customer experience stronger while making the business more efficient and predictable.

The warning signs often sit across teams and metrics. They are easy to normalise when no one owns the full post-sales system.
Churn is treated as an industry rate. Preventable revenue loss becomes an accepted cost of doing business.
NRR is treated as an upsell target instead of an earned outcome of adoption, realised value and trust.
Support and Success capacity grows to protect the base, while avoidable work and complexity remain in the system.
AI investment accumulates as pilots and tools, without a clear link to the work, decisions or cost it should remove.
AI AS AN OPERATING CHOICE
AI creates operating leverage when it removes repeatable work, improves decisions or changes a customer outcome. It multiplies what is already disciplined. It does not fix unclear process or weak ownership.
