“Our creation of a senior level position and single organization laser focused on customer success is a direct reflection of our dedication to our customers. We felt that in order to ensure our customers are successful, we needed an advocate on the executive team that would be dedicated to meeting and exceeding customer expectations, not just with our current product suite, but also in how they’d like to see it evolve. We were impressed with Nate’s comprehensive vision of what customer success means, and his view that no effort is ever quite done, that evolution and learning is always required,” said John Murdock, CEO of Centage. “A company that stops learning from its customers is a company uncommitted to customer success.”
The formal creation of a Customer Success department is just one of many customer focused initiatives Centage will invest in during the coming year.
