What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that challenge me and foster my professional growth.

I am a proactive and highly motivated professional with extensive experience in customer support management, particularly within the iGaming industry. My journey began in Portugal, where I developed a strong foundation in customer service, and later expanded internationally while working in the United Kingdom. Currently, I serve as a Customer Support Manager at LiveSponsors, where I designed and implemented a comprehensive customer support system from the ground up, integrating advanced tools like LiveChat and custom chatbots.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams of up to 200 advisors, focusing on delivering exceptional service and driving performance improvements. My analytical abilities have allowed me to track KPIs effectively and produce insightful reports for senior management. I am passionate about continuous improvement and have recently enhanced my digital marketing skills through a Social Media Marketing course by Meta, which has further enriched my approach to customer engagement and support.
