The problem

Customer Success should be designed — not patched together.

As companies grow, customer journeys, teams, processes and systems tend to evolve reactively.

We help leaders step back, understand what's actually happening, and design the operating model Customer Success needs next.

What makes this different

You work with an operator who has done it, not a consultant who has advised on it.

Kent & Co is led by an operator who has run customer success from the inside: built the teams, owned the number and answered for it to the CEO. It started in corporate finance, so every recommendation comes priced. You leave with decisions made and a system running, not a report.

Built by an operator

Mitchell Roberts

Founder, Kent & Co · Customer success · Operations · Finance

Mitchell started in corporate finance, then spent the years since running customer success from the inside. He looks at retention the way a CFO does: what it costs, what it earns, and what has to change in the operation to move it.

  • Net Revenue Retention from 86% to 105%, an all-time high
  • Average onboarding time cut from 196 days to 43
  • Monthly transaction volume nearly doubled on the same customer base
