About

At a glance.

Eleven years working with customers has taught me one thing: people stay when someone is actually there for them. Listening, fixing what's broken, and making sure the product works for them.

Now

Customer Success · Itron

I help integrate new clients into Itron's SaaS ecosystem, including Storm Manager. Onboarding, retention, and product demos — the full lifecycle of making sure customers get value from the platform.

Track Record

Onboarding, tools, and support

Built the onboarding workflow my current team uses at Itron, and vetted CRM and VoIP systems specifically for my team to find the right fit. At Amwell, the focus was on the systems and tools that powered customer support — dashboards, reporting, and escalation flows that helped the team move faster.

AI Work

Building with AI

Using AI to build agents and automated tools. First project: a mobile tower defense game built with Claude Code. Current project: a CRM blueprint I tailor to each team through investigative work — so businesses can own a tool built around their actual workflow instead of paying ongoing subscriptions for something generic.

Experience
Account Manager · Itron, Inc. (previously Urbint) Oct 2024 — Present · Remote

Focused on customer implementation and onboarding, with regular premium feature demos. Rolled out HubSpot CRM and Aircall VoIP across support and account management — gave the team better visibility into accounts and made follow-up easier. Demos and feature upsells contributed to renewed contracts, new business, and annual growth across my book.

Senior Operations Specialist · Amwell 2022 — 2024 · Hybrid

Oversaw the White Glove program — Amwell's dedicated onboarding service for new enterprise clients, which became the standard way we launched accounts. Built real-time Looker dashboards and managed visit volume reporting. Used the data to spot connectivity issues providers were having and put together plans to address them at the source.

Technical Account Manager · Amwell Apr 2021 — Mar 2023 · Remote

Managed 10 enterprise health-system clients and renewed $18M in contracts. Worked with JSON mapping for integrations and dug into Twilio reporting to debug call and connectivity issues. Tracked the issues that came up most often and brought them back to Product and Devices to fix. Spent real time on-site with clients — that presence is what made the renewals happen.

Virtual & Onsite Field Support Engineer · Amwell Oct 2019 — Apr 2021

Installed kiosks and tablets at hospital locations across hospital systems and troubleshot them in real time. On-call nights and weekends as needed. Dug into Twilio reports and worked with the Devices and Product teams to fix client issues — both software and hardware — inside hospital environments. When critical telehealth devices failed during COVID, I was the go-to person for 2,000+ hospitals. That work helped earn Amwell the #1 Telehealth Satisfaction ranking from JD Power in 2020.

Network Operations Analyst L2 · Amwell Nov 2018 — Oct 2019 · Greater Boston

Worked as a Level 2 NOC agent. Handled clinician onboarding in the system and troubleshot devices day-to-day. Managed tickets through Salesforce and handled call escalations when issues couldn't be resolved at L1.

Small Business Consultant · Bank of America Oct 2017 — Nov 2018 · Greater Boston

Brought in 48 new clients with $65M in accounts and credit by listening first and pitching second. Worked closely with Wealth Management and Merchant Services to cross-sell — handling credit applications for business owners and driving year-over-year returns through new books of business. Cross-sold $30M/year using the same listen-first approach. Trained junior bankers to do the same. Our center finished top-3 in the Cambridge West Market.

Relationship Manager · Bank of America Feb 2016 — Sep 2017 · Greater Boston

Acted as the single point of contact for personal banking customers — coordinating with Wealth Management, Merchant Services, mortgage, and investing teams instead of bouncing customers between departments. Brought in new business through cross-sells and credit applications, and built relationships that delivered repeat business and year-over-year returns.

Field Energy Specialist · SolarCity Feb 2015 — Feb 2016 · Northern NJ

Product expert for residential solar energy. Sold and booked new business through field visits and consultative selling.

Sales Manager · Diamond Wireless (A Wireless) Jan 2013 — Feb 2015

Started as a mobile sales rep for a Verizon authorized retailer — won multiple "Sales Rep of the Month" awards for new plans sold. Promoted to Sales Manager of my own kiosk in 2014, managing 3 employees. Hit bi-weekly and monthly sales quotas, ran inventory audits, handled cash and POS, and recruited and trained new hires. Managed schedules, resolved employee issues, and coordinated with district managers and corporate. Where I learned to sell, lead a small team, and run a P&L.

Projects & Case Studies

Initiatives I've owned end-to-end.

Selected work from the last few years where I led the strategy, evaluation, and rollout — not just the execution.

CRM & Telephony

HubSpot CRM + Aircall VoIP Integration

Urbint · Feb 2025 — Jul 2025

The team was managing client communications through Zoom and manually logging every note — context-switching and admin overhead were eating account-management time.

I led a structured evaluation across HubSpot, Salesforce, HappyFox, Aircall, Dialpad, RingCentral, and Nextiva — landing on HubSpot + Aircall for their tight integration and ease of use. The combined stack now centralizes calls, notes, tasks, and reporting in one hub, with marketing/automation capabilities baked in.

Impact: reduced context-switching, faster follow-ups, better visibility into account health, and a scalable foundation for future growth.

Customer Experience

White Glove Service Implementation

Amwell · Feb 2023 — Aug 2023

Launched a premium client support program: dedicated agents assigned to accounts immediately before and after go-live, with proactive health monitoring, KPI tracking, and weekly client reporting.

The program maintained a 4–6 week high-touch presence post-launch — triaging tickets by severity and business impact, surfacing trends, and giving clients real visibility into system health from day one.

Impact: improved CSAT during onboarding, fewer escalations in critical early weeks, and a new operational bar for post-launch support at Amwell.

Product & Revenue

Premium Feature Implementation

Urbint / Itron · Jun 2025 — Nov 2025

Led the rollout of premium paid features across my book of business — partnering with Product on packaging, demoing capabilities live to decision-makers, and aligning timelines so accounts went live without disruption.

Outcome: feature implementations contributing $60K+ in annual contract value, with several key accounts expanding scope mid-cycle.

Onboarding

Onboarding & Training Program

Urbint / Itron · Jul 2025 — Sep 2025

Built a structured onboarding and training process so every new account and vendor got the same high-quality ramp — regardless of who was running point.

Goal: cut time-to-first-value, reduce repeat questions to the support team, and surface the right product knowledge at the right milestones in the customer journey.

Skills

A mix of customer-facing fluency, project execution, and the technical chops to dig into the actual problem instead of paraphrasing it.
