Guest Bio
Jessy is an Australian who calls Spain her second home after living there for over 5 years. She got started in music tech from the tender age of 5, printing out pages of song lyrics from the internet and collating them into folders to distribute to her friends at school.
As Head of Insights with Vampr, Jessy’s mission is to ensure that their feedback loop is working correctly as they’re constantly learning with every change they make in the app. This involves deciding how to measure the performance of new features and analysis work to extract valuable insights that they can feed into new ideas to keep improving the app.
One of Jessy’s first roles was Customer Experience / Operations at Spotahome, an online home rental platform. From there she worked her way up to become Head of Account Management Customer Success Management, where she built the department from zero and scaled the team to 12 Key Account Managers and Customer Success Managers across 5 different markets. Jessy went on to become the Growth & Product Manager of drehub, one of Spotahome’s new products.

“Everyone's trying to get to that holy grail of recurring revenue, but it's not easy. You really have to commit to delivering value on an ongoing basis, and that sounds obvious, but I think some people probably shoehorn a subscription model in sometimes where it doesn't naturally fit. If your product doesn't lend itself to that model, then you should rethink it.” - Jessy Trengove
