Building a high-impact customer experience function isn’t about surveys and scorecards, it’s about transforming how an entire organization thinks about customers, employees, and measurable business outcomes. In this episode, Laura Turner, Head of Customer Experience at S&S Activewear, unpacks the blueprint for launching and scaling a CX function that drives real financial impact.
Laura reflects on her journey from B2C entertainment marketing to operations leadership and ultimately into CX, and explains why credibility, cross-functional visibility, and internal alignment are the foundation of any customer experience transformation. She reveals how establishing the mindset that “everyone is on the CX team” enabled her to unify teams across sales, marketing, fulfillment, support, and product - turning CX from a standalone initiative into a cultural movement.

She explains how her team leveraged AI-powered verbatim analysis and employee experience programs to identify friction points, redesign remote training, and reduce onboarding time by 50% - ultimately generating $200K in EBITDA value.
So, if you’re scaling CX in a complex business, operationalizing AI, or proving ROI to executive leadership, this conversation delivers a tactical roadmap for making CX a growth engine, not a cost center.
