Operationalize personalization and segmentation so the right message reaches the right customer at the right time, by default
Embed AI into flows, reporting, and creative generation to multiply team output without adding headcount
Lead and develop a team of 3 (Director Subscriber Experience, Senior Manager Lifecycle & Retention, and Manager Lifecycle & Retention), raising the bar on what they own and how they operate

Partner closely with Ecommerce, CX, Performance, and Brand as the cross-functional voice of LTV
