What I'm looking for

I'm focused on leading enterprise-scale learning, quality, operational excellence, customer experience, and AI-enabled transformation initiatives that deliver measurable improvements in cost, proficiency, service quality, and client outcomes.

At TeKnowledge, I own global strategy across Learning, Quality, Operational Excellence, and Sales Solutioning, helping drive $8M+ in business impact and contributing to approximately $50M in client wins.

I've built AI-enabled learning architecture that reduced onboarding by five days and saved approximately $900K, transformed quality into an analytics-driven model with predictive coaching, and led Lean initiatives that reduced cost-to-serve by approximately 30%.

Previously, I led global learning strategy at American Express and progressed through leadership roles at Convergys, spanning enterprise learning, consulting, quality, and curriculum transformation across technology, telecom, and financial services.
