Phil Nanus is the vice president of customer success research for TSIA. In this role, he works closely with member companies to deliver research and advisory programs focused on helping them optimize their customer success organizations and effectively deliver customer outcomes.
Prior to joining TSIA, Phil was the vice president of customer success at Infor. There, he led a team of customer success managers (CSMs) focused on driving customer adoption of their software, which also included strategy and development of Infor's early SaaS offerings during their transition from on-premise to cloud. He also managed and monetized their on-premise and cloud customer success portfolio.
Phil began his career as a business process consultant at Accenture, and has since held various positions related to enterprise software and IT services, including global leadership and roles in customer success, support, professional services, managed services, and cloud services. His experience also includes senior leadership positions in service sales, service product management, and service operations at Symantec and Veritas. Phil's experience across various practices within the technology industry provides him with a unique ability to apply his in-depth knowledge of customer success strategy, processes, and best practices as it directly relates to each of TSIA's research practices.
Phil frequently writes about these topics on the TSIA blog on the topics of customer success, customer health scores, customer success managers (CSM), and TSIA's LAER model.
