Independent advice from someone who has run the whole lifecycle.

I’m Theresa Pasinosky. I’ve spent 20 years building lifecycle and retention engines inside companies like Verizon, PayPal, and Xoom — owning journeys for portfolios as large as 22 million customers, cutting churn 50%, and protecting roughly $140M in annual revenue. Now I bring that experience to companies that need lifecycle leadership without waiting six months to hire it. No platform to sell you, no agency retainer to protect — just an honest read on what’s broken, what’s working, and what to build next.

Subscription & Consumer Brands

You have customers and churn. I find who’s leaving, why, and what makes them stay.

Startups & Scale-ups

No lifecycle program yet? I build the engine from the ground up: data capture, segmentation, journeys, and the testing discipline to improve them.

Established Teams

Your program exists but has plateaued. I audit the journeys, the deliverability, the measurement — and leave your team faster than I found it.

More About Me

Lifecycle marketing, from audit to always-on.

Companies hiring lifecycle marketers right now all want the same rare thing:

Someone strategic enough to own the roadmap and hands-on enough to build the segments, journeys, and tests themselves. Those hires take months to find. I deliver that combination now — as an engagement scoped in weeks, not a headcount req that sits open all quarter.

Built on what the market is actually asking for.

Next & Best is grounded in ongoing analysis of hundreds of lifecycle marketing job descriptions — the clearest signal there is of what companies need and can’t find. The pattern is consistent: full-journey ownership, first-party data strategy, AI-accelerated experimentation, and deliverability you can trust. That’s the work. Let’s do it together.

Retention is the growth lever you already own.

Acquisition keeps getting more expensive. The customers you have — the ones already opted in, already transacting — are the most undervalued asset on your P&L. At Verizon I watched a single funnel-monitoring practice surface a $3M-per-month revenue leak. The insight wasn’t magic; someone just had to look. An engagement starts with exactly that: a clear-eyed audit of your lifecycle, a prioritized roadmap, and then we build.
