Sheriff’s approach to CX is centered on forming proactive strategic partnerships that foster adoption, growth, and tangible value across the entire customer lifecycle. Before joining Recurly, Sheriff was the CCO at Eptura, where she led the professional services, customer success, customer support and renewals organizations.

This news comes on the heels of Recurly’s move to reshape the consumer subscription landscape, empowering brands to meet subscribers where they are and scale with an innovative lifecycle engagement solution. As noted in Recurly’s recent State of Subscriptions research, lack of scalability inhibits revenue growth, making the right subscription technology stack indispensable. It’s imperative that brands invest in a robust subscription management and recurring billing platform to optimize financial resources and streamline subscription operations.
In 2023, the average return on investment (ROI) achieved by Recurly customers was 14x. Visit https://recurly.com/customers/ to learn more about the high-growth brands that rely on Recurly’s subscription management platform to grow subscriptions faster, smarter and stronger.
