@ahmedelabd
I lead technical support operations, escalations, and high-performing customer service teams.
What I'm looking for
I've led technical support teams at Concentrix across Samsung USA and VRBO accounts, managing customer escalations, performance KPIs, and service operations.
I currently lead up to 20 agents supporting Samsung digital appliances during a new line-of-business launch. I was selected to train directly with Samsung in New Jersey and helped interview and prepare the launch team.
On VRBO, I managed real-time and Tier 3 escalations, including legal, media, and BBB complaints. My cost-reduction proposal to automatically deactivate specific accounts was adopted by the client.
I've also coached teams, delivered product training, improved compensation controls, and helped a VRBO customer service team reach #1 among seven teams on the floor.

Operations Team Leader — Technical Support (Digital Appliances)
Mar 2026 - Present (6 months)
Lead a team of up to 20 technical support agents on the Samsung USA account, supporting digital appliances during the line's launch phase. Selected among 10 team leaders company-wide to launch the new Digital Appliances line of business, including travel to Samsung's facility in New Jersey, USA, for direct client training.
Operations Team Leader — Technical Support (Mobile Experience)
Sep 2025 - Mar 2026 (6 months)
Led a technical support team for Samsung's Mobile Experience (AMEX) line, resolving issues across phones, tablets, watches, and laptops using Sprinklr for case management and reporting. Delivered team performance that ranked among the top on the floor, contributing to selection for the Digital Appliances line-of-business launch.
Led a team handling supervisor-level calls on the VRBO account, monitoring interval and SLA compliance to ensure agreed response times were met. Used Salesforce to track and validate out-of-policy compensation cases, coaching agents to resolve issues through service recovery rather than financial payouts.
Handled the highest tier of customer escalations on the VRBO account, including legal threats, media threats, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaints. Built a cost-reduction case study proposing a policy change to automatically deactivate specific accounts after a set duration; the client adopted the process update and formally recognized the initiative.
Promoted into a newly launched Back Office project on the VRBO account based on strong agent performance, handling dependent cases to resolve customer concerns faster. Delivered training and product knowledge sessions to staff supporting the new project.
Supported customers on the VRBO travel account using Salesforce, resolving inquiries and issues via phone. Helped lead the team to a #1 ranking among 7 teams on the floor for performance, earning recognition from both the client and Concentrix senior management.
