About Valentin

Data-driven Customer Success Manager with 3+ years of experience managing B2B users across Europe, I help companies drive product adoption, reduce churn, and make sure users keep getting value over time.

I work closely with users, product, and technical teams to understand how people actually use a product, identify friction points early, and turn those insights into concrete improvements. My focus is on engagement, retention, and long-term user relationships, not just support.

My approach combines strong user proximity with a data backbone: I track adoption signals, monitor retention KPIs, and use dashboards and usage data to spot risks before they become problems. When something needs to be automated or structured, I handle it directly with Python and APIs.

What sets me apart is the ability to operate across three dimensions at once — staying close to users, thinking like a product person, and reasoning with data — which allows me to work effectively with business stakeholders, product teams, and engineering alike.

Typical missions I support:

  • End-to-end user relationship management (onboarding, engagement, retention, support)
  • Adoption tracking and churn risk detection through usage data analysis
  • User research and feedback collection (interviews, workshops, feedback loops)
  • KPI definition and retention dashboard design (Power BI)
  • Translation of user insights into product improvements and roadmap contributions
  • Onboarding program design and time-to-value optimization
  • Process automation using Python and API integrations
  • Insights communication and decision support for non-technical stakeholders
