It’s a story about trading ego for opportunity and discovering how a nonlinear path can be a competitive edge.For the first time ever, Adi shares her career journey and walks us through the phases of building customer success from the ground up: early days with a handful of customers, finding product‑market fit, scaling teams and specialisation, and finally shifting to sustainable growth with sharper retention and efficiency.
