Operations Manager focused on people development, KPI performance, and execution excellence across LATAM and beyond.
What I'm looking for
I am a Business administration professional and Operations Manager who is passionate about developing people. I am relations and results oriented, with leadership and execution as my constant focus for effective and efficient operations.
In my current role as FOUNDEVER Operations Manager (April 2024 to present), I managed 4 accounts across LATAM, USA and Europe, ensuring long term partnership and performance and financial goals achievement through execution and leadership. I enhanced my analysis skills through DMAIC approach, and I bring assertive communication to drive engagement, decision making, and measurable outcomes.
Previously at TELEPERFORMANCE PERU, I led operations supervisors to reach performance targets through leadership and coaching, reinforced data analysis for strategy, and supported KPI attainment with action follow-up. I also achieved tangible results as Lead Operations Supervisor (10% results attainment improvement by second week of execution) and saw one of my teams reach first place the next month after the performance improvement plan launch.
