Regional Head of Customer Success

Sympa
01.2022 - 04.2024
  • Company Overview: HR Tech solutions and consultancy within SaaS B2B
  • I lead an international team of Customer Success professionals covering the Nordics, UK, DACH and Benelux.
  • Sympa is a hybrid workplace where working remotely is common practice.
  • So even though I am based in Copenhagen, I work with my team online every day as we strive to increase customer adoption, satisfaction, secure upsell opportunities and keep customer retention high.
  • In the last few years, Customer Success has reached an all time high, with more upsells than ever before and positive reviews flooding in.
  • This is due to a very targeted effort from my part when I joined, where focus was shifted from traditional 'farming' to instead putting our efforts into understanding the objectives of our customers and building Path to Value plans with them.
  • HR Tech solutions and consultancy within SaaS B2B

Customer Success Talent Lead

TOPdesk
01.2019 - 01.2022
  • Company Overview: ITSM solutions and consultancy within SaaS B2B
  • Started as the first Customer Success Manager in the business, with the intention of building up a team.
  • Initially expanded in the Nordics while building a case for why Customer Success would make a lot of sense for TOPdesk.
  • Not long after, I had helped build a CS organisation of more than 45 professionals covering all of our European markets.
  • I transitioned into a Talent Lead role and was put in a leading position to develop and mature both our CS individuals as well as the department itself.
  • Coordinating efforts with various levels of managers and C-level executives to align with the overall business goals as well as build relevant cascading objectives.
  • ITSM solutions and consultancy within SaaS B2B

Customer Success Manager

Visma Enterprise
01.2014 - 01.2018
  • Company Overview: Payroll, HR Tech and consultancy within SaaS B2B
  • First Customer Success Manager within the Danish part of Visma Enterprise.
  • The goal was to help solidify a wavering market hold as the competitive scene had changed a lot.
  • I firmly believed this could be achieved via Customer Success initiatives and was given the chance to prove it.
  • Built a team and a strong case for why the CS approach could indeed not only reduce churn, but help us grow.
  • Started off in the medium enterprise side of the business and was later promoted to the Large enterprise side, where record numbers were achieved.
  • Then moved to the outsourcing side of the business as it needed a boost as well.
  • In the end we merged Customer Support and Customer Success into one big team to better align our customer ambitions and have a shared approach to customer interactions.
