Michael Forney’s Expertise I love helping businesses succeed. For 10 years, I’ve been scaling Success and Support teams enabling venture-backed, high-growth SaaS companies to successfully exit and then lead enterprise-scale operations across multiple teams and technologies. My passion is for developing and implementing strategies for the next generation of Customer Success in high growth tech, creating best in class outcomes and setting the standard of operational excellence. My value is that I don’t fear ambiguity or being put on the spot. My military background has conditioned me to be comfortable taking the helm of fluid situations to get things done. I've helped teams transition from reactive to proactive, implementing industry best practices of lifecycle playbook development including customer onboarding, adoption strategies, quarterly business reviews, product roadmap reviews, KPI measurements, and renewals. In Customer Success leadership roles, I developed and scaled high-performing and accountable customer experience teams resulting in 97%+ renewal rates, tripled key account growth, and 98%+ employee retention. Areas of Expertise Include: Customer Success Live Streaming Media Video On-Demand, OTT Media (AVOD, SVOD) AV, Video Production Virtual Events High Growth SaaS Go-to-Market Strategy Executive Communication Deal Negotiations People Management Customer Presentations Project/Program Management Additional Areas of Interest: Web3/Web 3.0, Cryptocurrency, DeFi, NFT Utility, DAOs
