What I'm looking for

I seek remote leadership roles where I can scale customer operations, improve CX with data-driven processes, mentor distributed teams, and take ownership of DTC/CS strategy within collaborative, growth-focused companies.

I am an operations and customer service leader with 18 years' experience managing frontline to C-level functions across remote and international environments. I specialize in customer success, operations management, and developing teams and processes that improve retention, KPIs and user experience for SaaS and DTC brands.

I have led customer service departments, overseen portfolios of nearly 200 client accounts, managed DTC P/L responsibility, and designed training and SOPs across multicultural teams. My strengths include CRM and CX optimization, cross-functional collaboration, and scaling remote teams through coaching, performance metrics and technology integration.
