About Me

Seasoned operations manager with 19 years of experience leading teams up to 300 agents for a Fortune 500 company. Known for building strong team cultures, developing frontline talents, and delivering measurable improvements in customer experience, sales and retention. Throughout my career, I've driven meaningful results - improving CSAT, NPS scores, Sales KPIs, Retention metrics, reducing agent turnover, cutting handle times and operational costs, and raising the bar on behavioral performance standards. I believe that when you invest in your people, the customer experience and other KPIs takes care of itself.
