Transforming Support Operations.
One Team at a Time.

The difference between good and great customer experience lies in operational excellence.

For over a decade, I've been a leader dedicated to solving that challenge.

I have built and scaled ten different support teams from the ground up.

My teams don't just meet goals; they crush them.

I've scaled operations while maintaining CSAT above 90% and First Response Time under 90 minutes, even in high-volume environments.

My focus is on creating streamlined systems that empower teams to do their best work and delight your customers.

My Approach: Building for Excellence

My leadership philosophy is simple: operational excellence is the foundation of a great customer experience. For over a decade, I’ve been a hands-on leader dedicated to building and scaling high-performing teams by focusing on six key pillars.
1. Data-Driven Leadership

I believe that every decision should be informed by data, not guesswork. I start by establishing a clear set of KPIs, from CSAT to First Response Time, to create a transparent picture of our performance. This data allows me to identify trends, pinpoint bottlenecks, and make strategic adjustments. It’s how I’ve been able to continuously maintain a CSAT above 90% and consistently improve operational efficiency, even in high-volume environments.

2. Proactive Process Design

My teams don’t just react to problems—we solve them for good. I specialize in designing and implementing scalable systems and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that prevent issues before they start. Whether it’s creating a brand-new workflow or refining an existing process, my goal is always to build a robust, repeatable system. This proactive approach ensures our operations can keep pace with rapid growth without sacrificing quality.

3. Strategic Communication

I practice open and transparent communication to build a culture of trust and psychological safety. I believe in clearly articulating a vision and connecting the team’s daily tasks to a larger purpose. Through regular one-on-one meetings and clear team goals, I ensure every specialist is aligned, knows their value, and feels empowered to speak up and contribute to our shared mission.

6. Continuous Improvement

I'm committed to a philosophy of lifelong learning and a passion for finding better ways to operate. This involves actively seeking feedback from the team, staying updated on the latest industry trends (like ITIL), and encouraging a mindset of experimentation. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures my teams remain agile, efficient, and innovative.

4. Empowering People

My most important role is to be a mentor and a coach. I've had the privilege of building and scaling 10 different teams throughout my career, and with each one, my focus was on empowering individual specialists to do their best work. Through one-on-one coaching and talent development, I foster a collaborative environment where every team member is a key driver of our success.

5. Fostering Accountability

I build a culture of ownership and reliability by holding myself and my team accountable. This involves setting clear expectations, providing constructive feedback, and celebrating both individual and team successes. When everyone takes ownership of their work, it creates an environment where we learn from mistakes, continuously improve, and consistently meet and exceed our goals.
