Customer experience strategist

Customer experience should do more than improve satisfaction. It should protect growth.

I’m Daudi Mugabi. I help leaders see where customer experience, operations and commercial performance stop agreeing, and what those gaps may be costing the business.

Portrait of Daudi Mugabi

Good customer reports can still hide customer loss.

My point of view

Many organisations collect more customer data than ever. The problem is not always a lack of information. It is knowing what the information is failing to reveal.

My work focuses on the gaps between what dashboards report, what customers experience and what the business eventually loses. I help leaders turn those gaps into clearer decisions.

Marketing introduces you to someone. Customer experience makes them your friend.

Speaking

Conversations that make customer experience commercially relevant.

I speak to leadership teams, professional communities and conference audiences about the customer issues that often remain hidden behind apparently healthy reports.

01

Customer leakage and commercial performance

Why organisations can post strong CX results while still losing customers, revenue and future value.

Audiences leave with a clearer way to connect customer experience signals to commercial exposure.
02

Customer experience as a leadership issue

How internal priorities, processes and management decisions eventually become part of the customer’s experience.

Leaders see why customer outcomes cannot be left to the customer service or CX team alone.
03

The moments that change business outcomes

How delays, complaints, handovers and small broken promises create consequences far beyond the original interaction.

Audiences learn to recognise the moments that shape trust, retention, reputation and growth.

Customer Leak Lab
The platform behind the work

Customer Leak Lab

I founded Customer Leak Lab because customer experience teams were often being asked the same difficult question: how does this work make money? The answer was usually present in the evidence, but not always expressed in a way decision-makers could act on.

The platform helps organisations identify where customer experience signals, operational realities and commercial outcomes stop agreeing.
