Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 45:00

What can't a resume tell you about a candidate? Quite a lot, as it turns out.

She digs past surface-level feature requests to find the customer's real "why" before prioritizing a roadmap. As a first CS hire at multiple startups, she aligns stakeholders, defines what success means for each customer, and builds onboarding playbooks that keep new customers from slipping into the abyss. The results speak for themselves: adoption up 35%, onboarding time cut by two-thirds, and a product taken from pilot to paid.
