How I Approach My Work
I lead GTM systems and revenue operations by translating complex business requirements into scalable Salesforce solutions that power sales, marketing, and customer success teams. I start every engagement with structured discovery to deeply understand current workflows, pain points, and future state goals before designing solutions.
I focus on aligning business process optimization with Salesforce out-of-the-box capabilities to reduce customization risk while improving platform scalability, performance, and user adoption. Great architecture means maintainable systems that scale as the organization grows.
I measure success through measurable operational impact—improved SLA adherence, reduced manual triage, better data integrity, and reliable reporting that builds executive trust. I partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to guide prioritization and ensure technical decisions support business outcomes.
Platform governance matters. I establish structured release processes, validation governance, and integration strategy that reduce regression risk and enable teams to move faster with confidence.
Platform Work
Detailed narratives of platform challenges solved and outcomes delivered across enterprise organizations.
Business Challenge
Customer and revenue data lived across five disconnected platforms — virtual consultations in Bambuser, order management in Sterling, customer profiles in Amperity, telephony interactions in Genesys, and CSAT data in GetFeedback. Leadership had no visibility into how customer touchpoints connected to revenue outcomes, making it impossible to understand which experiences were driving purchases or where customers were falling out of the journey.
Strategic Approach
Over the course of building out Shiseido's customer operations platform, progressively architected an integration strategy that connected all five platforms into a unified customer lifecycle view inside Salesforce. The goal was not just technical connectivity but creating a single source of truth that allowed leadership to trace the full customer journey from first touchpoint through purchase and post-sale feedback.
Platform Decisions
Designed the data model to support cross-platform identity resolution, matching customer records across Amperity, Bambuser, and Sterling to create a continuous lifecycle view. Built integration frameworks using APIs and managed packages to ensure reliable data exchange between systems. Established data governance standards and validation logic to maintain accuracy and consistency across all connected platforms as the architecture grew.
Stakeholder Navigation
Partnered with customer experience, operations, marketing, and technology leadership to align on what a unified customer view needed to show and how it would be used for decision making. Translated ambiguous reporting requests into structured data requirements and built consensus on shared definitions for key metrics across teams.
Measurable Outcomes
Connected consultation bookings in Bambuser to purchase data in Sterling, enabling leadership to measure post-consultation conversion rates for the first time. This attribution capability increased executive trust in revenue dashboards by 20% and provided direct visibility into which customer touchpoints were generating the highest downstream revenue impact.
Platform Thinking
Designed the integration architecture as a scalable data foundation rather than a series of one-off connections. Each integration was built with extensibility in mind, allowing new platforms to be added without rebuilding core architecture. Established governance standards that ensured data quality and consistency as the platform evolved over time.
Business Challenge
Service teams were manually triaging and routing thousands of cases across multiple product lines and global regions, leading to inconsistent handling, SLA violations, and bottlenecks in first-response time.
Strategic Approach
Designed and implemented an intelligent case classification and routing system using Salesforce Einstein AI combined with custom automation to automatically categorize incoming cases and route them to appropriate service teams based on product line, geography, complexity, and specialist availability.
Platform Decisions
Balanced AI accuracy with manual fallback logic for edge cases, designed escalation paths for complex scenarios, and created dashboards for service managers to monitor system performance and continuously tune routing rules based on real-world data.
Stakeholder Navigation
Collaborated with service operations leaders across Shiseido's multiple business units who each had different regional requirements, product specialties, and SLA targets. Built consensus through phased rollout, starting with highest-volume product lines and expanding based on learnings.
Measurable Outcomes
Reduced average case routing time by 18%, improved first-contact resolution rates by 13%, and achieved 85% SLA compliance across all business units, enabling service teams to handle more case volume without proportional headcount increase.
Platform Thinking
Architected the system as a reusable platform capability that could be extended to new product lines, regions, and channels without rebuilding core logic. Created documentation and playbooks for service teams to manage their own routing rules and continuously improve system performance.
Business Challenge
Shiseido's service operations spanned multiple regions and business units using fragmented systems, creating visibility gaps, duplicate data, inconsistent processes, and inability to share best practices across the organization.
Strategic Approach
Led the design and implementation of a unified Service Cloud platform architecture that standardized case management, knowledge management, and reporting across all regions while preserving regional autonomy for specific workflows and SLA requirements.
Platform Decisions
Created shared data models for global visibility while allowing regional customizations through permission structures and validation rules, implemented multi-language support and regional calendar configurations, designed governance framework that balanced central oversight with regional operational independence.
Stakeholder Navigation
Required alignment from regional service directors in APAC, EMEA, and Americas who each had established processes and relationships. Conducted extensive stakeholder workshops to understand regional requirements and built consensus on shared platform standards.
Measurable Outcomes
Achieved 95% process standardization across regions within 3 months, reduced case escalation time by 15%, created single global view enabling real-time insights into service performance, and positioned platform for supporting future M&A activities.
Platform Thinking
Built the platform as an enterprise backbone that other systems could integrate with, rather than a one-time implementation. Designed it to support organizational growth, regional expansion, and future product line additions without major architectural changes.
Business Challenge
Salesforce announced the deprecation of Legacy Live Chat (Live Agent) in favor of Messaging for In-App and Web, a fundamentally different, asynchronous messaging architecture. Existing support model relied on synchronous chat workflows without conversation continuity, rich automation, or modern customer expectations across digital channels, requiring a mission-critical migration without disrupting agent productivity or customer experience.
Strategic Approach
Owned the platform migration strategy, treating it as both a technical re-architecture and a change management initiative. Partnered closely with Engineering, Support Operations, and Salesforce to design a phased rollout that tested, learned, and adapted without introducing risk to live customer interactions while preserving core service outcomes and unlocking long-term benefits of asynchronous messaging.
Platform Decisions
Re-architected chat workflows to support asynchronous conversation-based messaging, redesigned case creation and routing logic for persistent conversations, updated agent console layouts and automation for messaging queues, implemented new routing rules balancing live and asynchronous volume, and defined success metrics focused on resolution time, agent utilization, and customer satisfaction.
Stakeholder Navigation
Worked across Customer Support, Platform Engineering, Product Leadership, and Salesforce account teams. Managed concerns around agent efficiency and customer perception of asynchronous support by aligning rollout plans to operational realities and demonstrating benefits throughout the migration.
Measurable Outcomes
Successfully migrated from Legacy Live Chat to Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web with no disruption to customer support availability, improved conversation continuity enabling agents and customers to resume conversations, increased agent efficiency through better workload balancing, and created future-ready messaging foundation supporting automation and AI-driven routing.
Platform Thinking
Viewed the migration as a platform evolution rather than a like-for-like replacement, designing messaging as a flexible service layer capable of supporting future AI use cases, richer automation, and evolving customer communication preferences.
