About

Professional summary

I am a trilingual Customer Success professional with more than 2 years of experience supporting global customers in fintech and SaaS environments.

I have worked across English, Spanish, and Portuguese markets, helping customers resolve complex payment, authentication, and account management issues with a consultative and empathetic approach.

I am experienced in managing high volumes of cases, maintaining end-to-end ownership, and using Salesforce CRM to document, coordinate, and track customer interactions.

I have also taken on leadership responsibilities, including coaching multilingual teams and serving as a Relief Trainer for new Customer Experts.

In parallel with my customer success background, I founded and operate a customer-focused business, where I manage operations, team performance, budgeting, inventory, and commercial strategy.

I value customer advocacy, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration, and I enjoy combining business thinking with hands-on support to drive retention, satisfaction, and growth.
