About Johann

I'm Johann, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Customer Success leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling CS teams across the enterprise SaaS world — at companies like Salesforce, Red Hat, ServiceNow, Symantec, NetApp, and Veritas. I grew up professionally in the LATAM market, navigating the unique challenges of leading retention and renewal strategies across diverse regions, cultures, and business environments. That experience taught me that career growth in this industry rarely follows a straight line — and that the professionals who thrive are the ones who learn to position themselves strategically, not just work hard. I started coaching because I kept seeing talented CS professionals — especially mid-career and LATAM-based talent — undersell themselves in job searches, stall out before leadership roles, or miss opportunities simply because they didn't know how to tell their story. I've been in the rooms they're trying to get into. I know what hiring managers and executives look for, and I know how to help you close that gap. Outside of work, I'm based in Mexico, balancing a demanding career with a commitment to continuous professional and personal growth. That balance informs everything about how I coach: practical, no-fluff, and built around your real life and real goals.

Why do I coach?

Honestly? Because no one handed me a roadmap. When I was navigating my own career — moving across companies, stepping into leadership, figuring out how to grow in a market that doesn't always have clear playbooks for LATAM professionals in enterprise SaaS — I learned mostly through trial, error, and a handful of people who were generous enough to share what they knew. A manager who gave me honest feedback when I needed it. A peer who told me how compensation conversations really worked. A mentor who helped me see my own value before I could see it myself. Those moments changed my trajectory. And they were never guaranteed — they happened because I was lucky enough to be in the right room at the right time. Coaching is my way of making that less about luck. I coach because I believe that experience should be transferable — that the hard-won lessons from 15+ years in CS shouldn't live only in my head. I coach because mid-career professionals and LATAM talent are consistently underserved in career development spaces built mostly for someone else. And I coach because there is nothing more satisfying than watching someone finally see what they're actually worth — and go get it.
