Strategic Consulting, Built on What Works
No fluff. No noise. Just smart systems, strong teams, and sustainable scale.
If you're leading a post-sales org through growth, change, or general chaos — I help you build a Customer Success function that drives revenue, retains customers, and doesn’t burn people out in the process.
Hi, I’m Kristin Estrella — founder of The Stellar Consulting Group and a CS executive turned advisor.
I’ve spent 15+ years leading global Customer Success and Account Management teams across SaaS, adtech, and analytics, including Oracle Advertising, Moat, and The Weather Company.
Now I help scaling companies build CS orgs that retain customers, grow revenue, and keep their teams (mostly) sane.

Org design that supports your growth without chaos

Strategic planning, OKRs, and board-level insights
✴︎ Post-M&A Integration & Change Management

✴︎ Leadership & Team Development

WHO THIS IS FOR
You might be:
✔️ A Series A–C startup scaling your first CS team
✔️ A post-acquisition org trying to merge CS functions without imploding
✔️ A female founder in health/wellness needing operational clarity
✔️ A VP of CS drowning in Slack, renewals, and team drama
Either way, you need someone who can cut through the noise and build what works.
WHAT TO EXPECT
No bloated decks. No vague frameworks. No “thought leadership” for its own sake.
Just high-impact consulting tailored to your goals, your team, and your customers — delivered with clarity, humor, and zero guru energy.
