Summary
Conor Pendergrast is a customer experience and support leader with nine years of hands-on experience turning chaotic support operations into strategic revenue drivers for B2B SaaS companies. As founder of CustomerSuccess.cx and co-founder of Hammer & Spark Consulting, he specialises in making Intercom work harder—designing automation and AI workflows, improving help centres, and building reporting that links support to retention and growth. His background includes senior leadership at Expensify where he scaled remote teams, led major process overhauls, and handled high-stakes escalations and fraud incidents. A trained psychologist with postgraduate business finance credentials, Conor blends behavioural insight with commercial rigour to reshape customer-facing teams and tooling. He also mentors CX professionals, produces practical content (weekdaily emails and a Support Stack YouTube series), and often accelerates projects that others expect to take months into weeks.
