Profile picture for Dillon Young

Dillon Young

Dillon is a career Customer Success professional, having done tours of duty in Technical Support, Training, and Implementations as well. He did Sales that one time, but doesn't like to talk about it. Since 2019, he has been a people leader in CS orgs for early stage technology companies, primarily in the financial and human resources spaces.

Dillon founded Lifetime Value in 2023 with the vision of delivering entertaining, educational, and non-biased content to this exciting profession *without* selling (gasp) an ebook.

So far, so good.
