We are fanatical about creating true and measurable value for our clients all along the customer journey. It is not a nice to have, but an absolute must have,” said Jim Marsh, Chief Revenue Officer, Carousel Industries. “When you keenly focus first and foremost on each customer’s unique business levers and the outcomes they are aiming to achieve, your lens for defining and measuring success is at the center of everything you do for the customer. We will continue to prioritize making investments in growing Carousel’s services business by increasing recurring revenue streams and defining valuable new offers across cloud, security, and our portfolio of services offerings.”

Previously, Gonzalez built a reputation of high-performance organizational transformation at CRM provider Bullhorn, where he helped establish an Enterprise Customer Success organization that drove a nearly ten percent annual increase in revenue retention.

“I was drawn to Carousel to help it continue to further expand its ‘Customer Success Obsessed’ vision and join the mission to bring extreme technology value to customers across customer service, remote workforce collaboration, cloud migration, vendor management, and cybersecurity,” said Gonzalez. “I look forward to helping the talented and dedicated SDM, CSM, and other teams continue to help customers navigate increased uncertainty, increasingly common remote work environments and intensified competitive pressures.”
