“At a time when layoffs in the space are disproportionately impacting customer success teams and the brands they support, we’re more grateful than ever for the trust and advocacy our customers have demonstrated, and we’re equally dedicated to their success.”

As CCO, King will focus on further aligning customer success with other departments across the company, including sales, marketing, and product development, to ensure this customer-centric culture is strengthened and maintained as UJET experiences continued rapid growth. Prior to UJET, King served in a variety of roles including sales, account management, and customer success leadership over a 21-year career at Windstream, a leading provider of telecommunications and software solutions.
“I am honored to be UJET’s first chief customer officer and by the company’s commitment to the value of customer relationships and world class support,” said Kristin King, chief customer officer, UJET. “At a time when layoffs in the space are disproportionately impacting customer success teams and the brands they support, we’re more grateful than ever for the trust and advocacy our customers have demonstrated, and we’re equally dedicated to their success.”
“Over the two years Outdoorsy has been with UJET, the responsiveness from their team has been outstanding. They are always available when we need them, quick to respond and happy to help. Our positive experience with UJET support was one of the primary reasons Outdoorsy chose to renew its contract with UJET,” said Dana Golding, director of customer support and operations, Outdoorsy. “On behalf of the customer service team at Outdoorsy, I wish to congratulate Kristin King on her promotion to chief customer officer. We look forward to continuing our work with her and the UJET support organization.”
