At HootSuite, Mohan led the Global Customer Service team, Professional Services team, and Customer Success programs where he was responsible for identifying and implementing improvements to drive customer expansion and success across channels, segments, and products.

“For a company like Vend, customer success is more than customer support; it is an opportunity to help small businesses and independent retailers grow and thrive in a competitive market,”

said Mohan. “I’m excited to join a company that clearly puts its customers first, enabling independent retailers to take full advantage of their business operations. I look forward to working with the Vend team to expand, educate, and service its customer base through the next phase and beyond.”
