In addition, Karr will draw on cross-functional resources to strategically guide fast-growing customers in delivering their brand experience.

“I’m excited to work with Whiplash in elevating the role of customer success, and meeting our customer’s needs head-on during such a significant time for the retail sector,” Karr said. “For all the challenges the pandemic has presented, it’s also created some massive opportunities.
