“I first reported to Laurence as VP of Customer Success at Wandera, where Laurence joined us after an extended period of growth and customer acquisition. We needed strong leadership and experience to navigate the next stage in our development, specifically how to take our customer success, retention and customer growth strategy to the next level. Laurence brought that in spades, helping us quickly deliver net-positive customer retention and significant improvements in customer satisfaction, all while taking a considerable amount of his time and effort growing, supporting and up-skilling his team. Not long after taking the reins, we were acquired by Jamf, adding a whole new dimension of complexity in Laurence's role in having to navigate and communicate the significant challenges that come with such a change. Laurence took this in his stride, fought hard for his team, and kept us informed and at the forefront of his priorities, which was deeply appreciated across the team. Laurence has incredible attention to detail, a fierce and uncompromising work ethic, and also has the soft skills to make sure his team feel supported and not managed. Under Laurence's stewardship our team thrived, growing strong relationships with customers and strategic partners, hitting our targets, and improving our knowledge and skillset. I only have good words to say about Laurence, and hope I get the chance to work with him again in the future.”
