How did you get started with Terms.Tech and how has your role evolved?
So, I stumbled into the TradeTech world of AREA42 and Terms.Tech back in 2021, starting as the Sales Strategy Manager. For over a year that was a fulfilling role, but considering how Terms.Tech is evolving, I’ve recently taken on the responsibilities and awesome challenges and opportunities that the Head of Customer Success role provides.
Why did I join in the first place? Remote work and the opportunity to operate in a mix of cultures had me sold – it’s just what I was looking for. Not only that, Terms.Tech’s vision and mission and the thrilling journey that a young payments startup will take were equally attractive.
Moving on from traditional banking into a FinTech startup like this has been like learning to ride a bike – scary and exciting but also addictive!

What advice would you give to aspiring customer success managers?
This sort of role needs a lot more than just knowing tech and finance. What I mean is that it focuses more on relationship building, not just technical support.
My background in banking and sales has given me a broad, well-rounded perspective to tackle the needs of clients. Based on that, I’d recommend cutting your teeth and picking up experiences in other areas of a business before taking on the challenges of customer success. Those previous experiences will help with empathy and knowing where solutions might be hiding.
A bit more challenging is this: be a mind reader! You’ll need to anticipate issues before they pop up. Also, treat every hiccup or issue as a chance to find solutions and create and solidify customer satisfaction, rather than as problems or failures.
And, just for fun, what have you been listening to, watching, and/or reading lately?
Lately, podcasts I’m listening to are on “How I Built This” and audiobooks that spill the beans on business strategies. The couch potato in me is hooked on mind-bending documentaries. Reading-wise, I’m juggling FinTech blogs and the classics – because why not mix some tech brilliance with timeless content? It’s a wild ride of learning and entertainment, mirroring the unpredictable journey at Terms.Tech.
