What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Director-level role where I can own P&L, scale global operations, and lead AI-enabled digital transformation across BPO/CX/HealthTech—partnering with leadership on growth strategy, building high-performing teams, and delivering measurable ROI with strong compliance.

I’m a Director of Global Operations and Growth with 11+ years of progressive leadership, transforming complex service organizations into scalable, profitable delivery engines. I architect commercial and operational “from zero” capabilities at the same time—owning P&L outcomes while building the technology, CX, and compliance foundation required to scale across geographies.

In my current role, I lead a multi-vertical services portfolio (BPO, CX, HealthTech), with $18M P&L ownership and $25M pipeline governance across a 1,000+ FTE footprint in US, Egypt, Philippines, and Saudi Arabia. I built commercial technology infrastructure (Genesys + Zoho CRM via API), implemented AI-driven lead scoring and automated qualification workflows, and commercialized AI deployment to improve billing, AHT, productivity, and CSAT—while generating $5M new ARR in 12 months and compressing sales cycles from 120 to 60 days.

Previously as General Manager for a HealthTech platform, I led product lifecycle and clinical operations across 18 US healthcare institutions, delivering 351% net profit growth and 525% total MRR growth. Earlier at Teleperformance, I turned around a cold-launch logistics account from zero to 500+ FTEs and an $11M+ P&L, transforming NPS from -2 to +16 while achieving strong gross margin, productivity lift, and zero compliance breaches (GDPR/PCI DSS). I’m known for building high-performing teams, applying Lean Six Sigma and COPC frameworks, and operating with disciplined governance (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS) to deliver measurable results.
