Who do you admire the most or consider as your mentor in the CS industry?
What does your CS day look like?
I usually start my day by devising a plan of action for the day. I then review my overdue tasks/playbooks and do a full analysis of my At-Risk clients and clients with upcoming renewals. I check on the progress of their success plan, if they have achieved their desired business outcomes or not if there are any major outstanding issues/ challenges they are facing etc. After reviewing these customers, I prepare for my scheduled calls, review high-priority support tickets /JIRA tickets and proactively communicate status updates to customers, work on pending escalations, etc.

An explorer (professional adventurer)
