A Little About Our VP (Your new Boss!)

Our VP is a powerhouse with a relentless drive to succeed. She has a "get it done no matter what" mentality, balanced with a compassionate leadership style. Not only did she create and launch our Contract Signing via Chat product—which grew revenue for one customer by over $500 million in less than 6 months—she also conceived and built our Voice Call Center from idea to first live call in just 3 months. All of this, while managing every aspect of post-sale customer success and collaborating across departments with Sales, Product, and Engineering. Further, she had a driving force to the entire company rebrand- changing our strategy from "Lead Capture" to "Lead Conversion:... we used to be ApexChat... now we're Blazeo!

She’s a born innovator and leader, always full of fresh ideas and driven by the constant pursuit of a better, more innovative way to do things. Her teams don’t just meet their targets—they blow them away. Last quarter alone, they exceeded their churn reduction goal by 300% and upsell targets by 200%.

She embodies our Core Values and lives them every day. Now, she’s looking for someone who can stand by her side, embrace hard work, and help grow this team. If you thrive in an environment where innovation, ownership, and results are everything, and you love the freedom to create and innovate—this is the role for you.

If you’re ready to rise to the challenge and exceed expectations—bet on yourself, and watch her bet on you.

PS. She loves emojis, "mom jokes" and is constantly finding something "punny" to say...If you're daring enough and still reading this, email her directly to take your best shot... be bold, be daring... raeann@blazeo.com
