StorageDefender Inc., a provider of smart security solutions for the self-storage industry, has hired Colleen Barraclough as vice president of client success. She’ll focus on scaling customer onboarding, refining training frameworks and developing operational playbooks for clients, according to a press release. 

Barraclough has nearly two decades of leadership experience. Most recently, she was the global head of delivery and vice president of customer success for Daxtra Technologies, a provider of artificial-intelligence-powered recruitment software. During her 11-year tenure, she built global operations from the ground up and managed teams worldwide. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Colleen to our team as we enter this next stage of growth,” said Mark Cieri, CEO of StorageDefender. “Colleen’s experience heading up client success and global delivery for tech giants like Apple and Amazon brings a level of operational sophistication that allows us to deliver on our promise of top-tier support. Her ability to translate SaaS [Software as a Service] frameworks into measurable success for facility operators will be a massive driver as we continue to scale our impact across the self-storage industry.”
