Annie’s Bio

Annie Dean's career trajectory is marked by over 12 years of experience in corporate strategy, B2B go-to-market strategies, entrepreneurship, and operational leadership, establishing her as a pivotal senior executive amidst rapid organizational growth and success. Her advisory role spans across software and technology-enabled services companies, where she also takes on fractional leadership positions such as CEO, COO, and VP/Head of Customer Success for multiple startups, alongside serving on the boards of various startups. Dean leverages her profound expertise in SaaS recurring revenue, customer success, change management, and innovation to drive growth and scalability in competitive markets.

Before her ascent in the tech industry, Dean accumulated over 10 years of significant leadership and wholesale experience in the big-box retail sector. Despite lacking a college degree and grappling with a poor work-life balance, feeling entrapped within her circumstances, she made a bold move to pivot her career. In 2011, Dean embarked on a new journey in the tech realm, starting from an entry-level role at Cisco. Her determination and skillset propelled her rapid advancement in the customer success domain, underscoring her resilience and adaptability.

In addition to her professional endeavors, Dean has dedicated over a decade to mentoring, co-founding RecastSuccess to foster diversity in the Customer Success talent pool through mentorship, education, and community engagement. Her leadership prowess contributed to four notable exits, ranging from a $50M Series A acquisition to the monumental $26.2BN LinkedIn/Microsoft deal.

Transitioning from a lifetime in the Bay Area, Dean is now humorously navigating life on a micro-farm in the Sierra Foothills. A native sign-language speaker, she immerses herself in reading, national speaking engagements, frequent podcast appearances, and a profound love for nature, blending a rich professional legacy with a vibrant personal life.
