Who I Am

I build the systems
that keep teams winning.

I'm an Operations Manager with 10 years of experience across digital marketplaces, financial technology, technical support, and customer experience — working for US-based clients in fully remote, high-volume, high-stakes environments.

I started on the front line as a Customer Service Representative and earned every promotion through performance. That path taught me that great operations aren't designed from a boardroom — they're built by people who know exactly what the work looks like at every level.

I'm at my best when there's a problem that needs a system — when CSAT is slipping, backlogs are building, or a team needs a leader who can coach them to their own next level.

🏗️
Builder MentalityI've built playbooks, call flows, and entire LOBs from a blank page — handed nothing and delivered a working system.
📊
Data-First DecisionsI diagnose before I act. Every recommendation I make is grounded in data — market analysis, performance trends, and root-cause investigation.
🎯
Results You Can MeasureFCR, CSAT, AHT, quality audit — I've been held to specific numbers, not vague standards, for a decade.
🤝
People Who GrowMy default response to underperformance is coaching. Several agents I've led have been promoted. That's the metric I'm most proud of.

Case Studies

Two defining moments. Real problems, real constraints, and results that speak for themselves.

Building an Entire LOB from Zero — 60% to 97% CSAT in One Month

ContextTaskUs — Major US Home Security Client
Starting Point12 agents, repeat-caller queue, no playbook, no call flow, no manager
OutcomeOfficial LOB · 400 agents globally · Promoted to Ops Manager
The Challenge

A team, a queue, and a blank page. Nothing else.

I was asked to pilot a new escalation line of business — Technical Resolutions Support — handling repeat callers who had already been failed by standard support. I was given 12 agents and one instruction. No call flow, no playbook, no SOP, no QA rubric. I reported directly to the client.

What I Built

A full operating system — designed and live in under two weeks.

I diagnosed the core problem: agents were treating symptoms, not causes. I designed a 3-Stage Diagnostic Framework (AAA Phase: Acknowledge, Align, Assurance), wrote the complete Playbook, built the call flow, co-developed QA rubrics, and introduced the ETA behavioural standard (Empathy Through Action) with a 3-Strike accountability rule.

Brand Strategy · Data-Driven Growth

4 Accounts to 16 — Turning Brand Insight into a Growth Engine

ContextE-Commerce Digital Marketplace Agency (Independent Contractor)
Starting Point4 new brand accounts, 4 different markets, Week 1
OutcomeStrategy adopted by all 4 clients · Portfolio expanded to 16 accounts
The Starting Point

Four brands. Four different markets. One week to learn them all.

After onboarding, I was assigned four accounts with different scopes — home improvement (PPC & SEO), a premium bag seller (PPC only), a health brand (full service: SEO, design, PPC, catalogue), and an automotive supplies brand (SEO only). In Week 1 I didn't touch a single campaign — I studied each brand: their market, competitors, and how they appeared outside the platform.

What I Found

One pattern. One solution. Backed by data.

After two weeks, progress had stalled on three of the four accounts. I went back to my research and noticed one thing: only one brand had a complete Brand Story — and it was the only account improving week on week. That wasn't a coincidence. I ran market basket analyses, pulled competitor benchmarks, and built the case. I also identified that all four brands were missing a growing social commerce channel I knew well from my own work as a TikTok affiliate and UGC creator.

What Happened Next

Presented to all four clients. All four said yes.

I presented both the Brand Story recommendation and the TikTok/UGC strategy with full data support. All four clients agreed. Within weeks my performance was noticed at a senior level — when a Brand Manager resigned, my director didn't recruit externally. She expanded my portfolio from 4 to 16 accounts based on the results I'd already delivered.

My Philosophy

"I've been handed a blank page and built a system that went global. I've diagnosed failing teams and turned them into top performers. The work is never done — but I'm always the one who shows up to do it."
