Hiring and retaining a high-performing team of Implementation engineers and Solution architects with e-commerce tech stack experience is not an easy feat. I was able to build a solid team of 12 in less than 2Qs while also scaling their skillsets.
Activated 80+ new customers in a span of 2yrs and collaborating with Customer Success partners to aid in NRR of 97%+ and an average transaction CSAT of 4.2

This project is an example of several partners enabled with Ripple's solution. Standardizing the solution design across global architects and financial institutions with caried requirements led us to faster time to market as well as maturing the FI customers and their understanding of the new payments landscape.
