Customer Support Team Lead at MyExpatTaxes who introduced quarterly reviews and improved shift planning, training, and team communication.

Finland
Message

At MyExpatTaxes, I led a team of 8 Tax Support professionals, coordinating daily operations, coaching and onboarding employees, and handling complex customer cases. I introduced quarterly result reviews and an annual improvement plan; customer satisfaction remained unchanged during the busiest time of the year, and the Trustpilot rating improved.

I also brought shift planning forward, developed teamwide training that included mandatory GDPR training, and established weekly team meetings and monthly 1:1s. Earlier, I supported customers at Sanoma Oy, If Insurance, and DHL EXPRESS, and worked in airport security at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
