Gert Attila Mayr
@gertmayr
ITIL Service Desk Manager and ITSM transformation leader, building high-performing support teams and automating customer success.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven IT Service Desk Manager with 18+ years of progressive experience leading IT support operations across multinational corporations and international organizations. I build high-performance service desks from scratch, implement ITIL processes, and lead teams that deliver measurable outcomes—SLA compliance >98%, CSAT 4.8/5.0+, MTTR -35%, and 42% ticket deflection.
For 6+ years at the European Patent Office (EPO), I built a centralized, ITIL-aligned support function from zero, scaling to a 35-member team serving 10,000+ users across 38+ European jurisdictions. I’m known for operational excellence and continual improvement: incident/problem/service request/change enablement practices, executive dashboards, and knowledge automation that improves FCR (52% to 86%) and reduces repeat P1 incidents by 40%.
Most recently, I’ve stayed hands-on with Tier 1 support in SaaS and mobility, delivering bilingual German/English customer experience with high CSAT and strong first contact resolution. I bring automation expertise (e.g., 50+ Zendesk macros), multilingual knowledge base governance, and stakeholder partnership to translate metrics into business impact—because support should be fast, reliable, and continuously smarter.
