Charlotte Jupp is the VP of Customer Success. She empowers and advises cybersecurity teams and C-suite stakeholders on how to strengthen their control and risk analysis across cybersecurity domains, allowing for security posture determination, prioritisation, and measurable improvement, driving product value, adoption, and usage. Charlotte leads teams to achieve exceptional ARR growth and customer retention with a hands-on attitude.
Here’s what you'll learn:

• Transitioning from academia to customer success
