Cody Barlow

Organizational Systems & Customer Success Leader at Galileo FX

I am a systems adoption and sales enablement strategist with experience building technology-supported workflows, training users, improving customer engagement processes, and aligning organizational outcomes to measurable indicators. I have led remote sales organizations, streamlined onboarding practices, built repeatable follow-up sequences, and redesigned operational processes that reduced support requests and increased usage. Across technology and service environments, I focus on improving clarity, simplifying decision-making, and helping teams actually use the systems they adopt.
