Client Account Director

Ricoh USA, Inc.

I was in this role because of my customers and the relationships I build with them.  When meeting with customers, I listen to what issues they have while asking the questions that reveal the full landscape and scope of the problem because a complete picture allows us to provide a solution that could solve multiple problems that the customer may not understand one solution can solve.   By bringing my team’s insights, hindsights, and foresights into play, we can bring simplicity to their complexity.

To illustrate our approach, I learned one of my customers was having issues in their Accounts Payable (AP) department.  Through multiple meetings with the customer, we uncovered problems not only in AP, but also in HR with on-boarding and regulatory headaches they had when being audited.  My team brought to the table a solution that streamlined their AP processes, gave immediate access to documents for audits, and would simplify their on-boarding to create a better employee experience.  After the implementation, the customer was amazed at the time that was saved, the better experience their employees had, and the cost savings generated.  In addition, we were able to bring a Digital Transformation in two departments by taking manual paper processes and digitizing them.

In this role, I was accountable for managing and growing market share as a trusted, strategic partner for large accounts with 1,000-10,000+ employees and establishing the Ricoh brand in new accounts. I lead an integrated, collaborative team of experts and engineers to identify and recommend new technology solutions that are scalable and consistent across the enterprise.
