Hi, I'm Gozde.

I'm a go-to-market and customer success leader with a decade in B2B SaaS, and I turn post-sales organizations from cost centers into measurable revenue engines. My work spans sales intelligence, GTM tech, and martech, which gives me command of the full customer journey — from acquisition through onboarding, retention, and expansion. I've owned gross and net revenue retention for books ranging from $25M to $80M, led GTM organizations of 50+ people, and repeatedly moved retention from the 60s into the mid-90s. Founders bring me in for one reason in particular: I scale expansion revenue without scaling headcount.

I've led post-sales at Apollo.io (trusted by 750,000+ companies), Lob, Traackr, and was one of the first customer success hires at Twitter. I advise the University of San Francisco AI Advisory Board, founded and grew a profitable education business from zero, and hold executive education from Harvard Business School Online, a Master of International Business from Hult, and a Bachelor of Engineering from Sabanci University. I'm based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
