Digital operations leader who improves customer service through automation and performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Head of Digital Operations who partners with leadership to define and execute automation capabilities, operational processes, and organisational models. I’ve delivered exceptional standards across inbound and outbound activities while keeping teams focused on quality, customer experience, and measurable service outcomes.
I’ve led hundreds of Digital Energy Specialists and managers, owning service and cost targets with P&L. I introduce new systems and training programs, optimise operational structures, minimise stock losses, reduce costs, and improve employee productivity—especially when priorities shift quickly.
Earlier in my career, I built strong foundations in remote customer operations: billing administration, help desk support, and troubleshooting across multiple platforms. I’m hands-on with complaints, KPI performance, GDPR-sensitive data, and real-time issue solving—always creating a welcoming environment for new starters and continuous improvement.
