FOLAKEMI OMOSUYI
@folakemiomosuyi
Customer Service Manager and STR Operations Specialist delivering fast, guest-first remote operations excellence.
What I'm looking for
I lead high-performing customer service and guest communication operations with over 8 years of operations management, crisis handling, and team leadership across financial services and consumer industries. I’ve managed multi-property short-term rental portfolios across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Expedia, consistently maintaining response times under one hour and guest satisfaction scores above 4.8 stars.
Most recently, I’m combining deep STR expertise with virtual assistant work to deliver remote operations excellence for growing vacation rental businesses worldwide. I’ve trained and led large service teams (including a 200-person operation), built crisis recovery frameworks that reduced escalations, and earned back-to-back Manager of the Year recognitions—while using platforms like Turno, PriceLabs, Hostaway, and Guesty to keep workflows smooth and guest experiences outstanding.
