About Andrea Statema

I lead Customer Success organizations focused on driving retention, growth, and measurable business outcomes in complex, technical environments.My experience spans enterprise SaaS, DevOps, and AI-driven platforms, where success is not about process — it’s about helping customers operate more effectively at scale.At Buildkite, I’m focused on building and scaling Customer Success across TAM, CS, and Renewals to support a growing customer base and ensure customers realize meaningful value as they expand on the platform.Previously at GitHub, I led a $30M+ portfolio of Fortune 100 and global enterprise customers, partnering closely with executive stakeholders and Microsoft account teams to drive cloud migration, Copilot adoption, and DevSecOps modernization initiatives.I’m particularly interested in environments where the product is technically sophisticated, the customers are highly capable, and success requires more than a standard playbook.My approach centers on executive alignment, value realization, and building long-term customer partnerships that drive durable growth.
