148 - AI And Empathy In Customer Success

Episode notes

Text us your questions and thoughts! What happens when you move your CS career from London to Dubai and rebuild your playbook from the ground up? We talk about that with Jomilsa Sousa, Customer Success and Account Management consultant & coach, and the Founder of The Success Studio, where she helps Customer Success professionals and businesses unlock their full potential. Currently, she also serves as Account Manager at Cirium (and when this was recorded, she was CS Account Manager at LexisNexis Middle East) In this episode, Jomilsa unpacks how digital transformation in the Middle East collides with a culture that prizes in‑person trust, and why that mix is changing how teams design onboarding, renewals, and growth. AI is powerful for churn prediction and business reviews, but the story that convinces a stakeholder to stay is still a human one.
