SaaS Customer Success Manager
About me
I'm a Los Angeles native who is currently based out of Utah. A computer software professional, I currently serve as a Customer Success Manager for a Software-as-a-Service platform at Dynamic Signal, where I collaborate with leading Fortune 500 companies and internal operations teams in order to improve clients' business prospects and put them on a pathway to achieve their goals.
Prior to coming on board as a SaaS CSM at DySi, I was a Senior CSM at Brightedge. My first foray into tech was at GuideSpark. I was promoted 3 times at GuideSpark going from inside sales to outside sales to partner development. Due to my adaptability and strength at developing relationships I changed career paths and became a Customer Success Manager at GuideSpark which eventually led to my role at BrightEdge. Before working in the SaaS industry I was a Real Estate Agent at Prudential California Realty from May 2008 to January 2011. In 2012, I also campaigned successfully in Washington State for the approval of R-74 as a canvasser knocking on doors and managing a team for Washington United.
I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Studies at the USC Marshall School of Business, graduating in 2008. I have since accrued skills in fostering emotional intelligence, developing knowledge bases, training and managing of new hires, proficiency in SEO/SEM, account management in Salesforce and GainSight, new business development, strategic planning, Google/Adobe Analytics, and, most importantly, customer service. Civic-minded and a natural people person, I've volunteered my time working with children and homeless since June 2013.

"Jeff has been a champion for all of the domains that Simpson Strong-Tie owns. He not only does regular check-ins with us, he is there to guide us every step of the way to ensure we use the tool in a way that is thoughtful and deliberate. I always learn something new from Jeff on every call and for that, I am grateful.
