Linda Joy Espaillat
@ashtonmottaespaillat
Director of Operations and B2B sales professional scaling logistics and vendor networks with bilingual customer-first leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations & Sales professional with 14+ years of experience scaling startup logistics, managing 50+ vendor relationships, and driving customer retention across B2B SaaS and nearshore markets. Bilingual (English/Spanish), I focus on vendormanagement, account growth, and process optimization that keeps operations and customers aligned.
In operations leadership roles, I’ve owned end-to-end logistics and vendor acquisition for startup launches, implemented compliance and verification protocols (including background checks and COI verification), and reduced compliance risk. I also use site analysis with geolocation tools to support equipment installation and reduce friction between vendors and contractors.
In customer-facing roles, I’ve managed customer success for 100+ accounts, built retention campaigns to reduce churn, and led contract renewal negotiations with C-level clients to secure significant renewals. I’ve also handled escalations with empathy and professionalism while maintaining accurate account documentation and issue resolution.
I bring a strong fraud detection and market analysis mindset, including implementing fraud detection protocols to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions. Recently, I’ve been active in direct sales and customer support operations—where I maintain pipeline tracking, follow-up discipline, and campaign optimization alongside my team.
