Grace Otieno
@graceotieno1
I improve customer support workflows, office operations, and financial processes for growing teams.
What I'm looking for
At Grain Intelligence, I improved support workflows and automations to bring average response times to about one hour. I maintained Intercom content that enabled Fin AI to handle around 30% of 600+ monthly conversations and improved first-contact resolution by about 15%.
I resolve customer workflow issues across HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Stripe, APIs, and MCP, while tracking recurring bugs and customer feedback to support product prioritisation.
At Stima Boda, I managed office operations, implemented QuickBooks and expense-tracking templates, supported audits and statutory compliance, and negotiated vendor contracts that reduced utility and supply costs by up to 15% annually. I also led a women’s empowerment program that trained and connected 22 women riders to employment opportunities.
I’ve also founded a fast-food delivery business and led operations at Kisafi, where I improved workforce productivity, supported promotional programs, managed expenses, and helped strengthen service quality. I’m looking to bring reliable administrative, operational, and customer support to a team that values better processes and practical results.
