Cultivating High-Performance Customer Operations

Leslie Leaf

I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most thoughtful and effective leaders I’ve worked with. Leslie has a rare ability to balance strategic direction with genuine care for her team—she sets clear expectations, removes obstacles, and trusts people to do their best work.
Leslie is one of those rare executives who can walk into any operational environment—high-growth, complex, or under-performing—and immediately bring clarity, structure, and momentum. I’ve seen firsthand how she elevates customer operations, strengthens financial performance, and builds scalable processes that drive real, measurable results. She’s the steady, strategic leader you want guiding teams through growth.
Before Leslie, the organization was fragmented due to multiple company mergers, with each team operating in silos. She recognized this immediately and took action, bringing all the leaders together to align processes and build a truly unified operation. Her ability to break down barriers and create synergy across departments was nothing short of transformative.
Leslie’s work is grounded in outcomes. She has led organizations through operational redesigns that reduced costs by 38%, improved customer retention year over year, and elevated NPS and CSAT to record highs. Her approach blends customer insight, operational rigor, and modern technology to deliver repeatable, measurable performance.
Leslie works with CEOs, founders, and boards of SaaS and technology companies navigating growth, complexity, and change. Her focus areas include scaling customer success, optimizing professional services, integrating AI and automation, and building operating models that support long-term enterprise value.
With more than 25 years of executive leadership experience, Leslie has built and led global customer and operations organizations responsible for tens of millions in revenue. As a former Chief Customer Officer and Chief Operating Officer, she brings a proven track record of operational transformation, cost reduction, and customer retention—backed by data, discipline, and results.
