About Maria Wessel

I’m passionate about helping customers succeed through strong relationships, strategic partnership, and a relentless focus on driving meaningful outcomes.With experience at both high-growth startups and enterprise organizations, I bring a well-rounded perspective on what it takes to deliver value across the customer journey. At LearnCore (acquired by Showpad in 2018), I spent over four years helping build and scale the Customer Success team from the ground up. I managed a diverse book of business and worked closely with clients to drive adoption, maximize ROI, and grow their investment over time. It was there that I truly developed my love for working 1:1 with customers - helping them solve problems, navigate change, and achieve their goals.Currently at 84.51°, I support client initiatives that leverage shopper data and advanced analytics to drive strategic decision-making and personalized customer experiences. Working at the intersection of data science and consumer behavior has reinforced the importance of delivering insights that are not only actionable but aligned with each client’s business priorities. My time here has deepened my appreciation for data privacy, ethical use of shopper data, and the trust that underpins every customer relationship.I thrive in fast-moving, customer-centric environments where I can act as both a strategic partner and a passionate advocate. I’m at my best when I’m listening closely to client needs, asking the right questions, and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver tailored solutions. Empathy is at the core of how I work. I believe building trust and understanding is essential to driving adoption, uncovering growth opportunities, and helping customers achieve long-term success.Let’s connect! I’m always open to sharing ideas, learning from others, and exploring ways to drive impact through customer success.
