Regional operations executive improving SLA, resolution time, and client outcomes through data-driven service delivery leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a service delivery operations executive with more than fifteen years leading distributed technical teams, translating service data and client feedback into concrete process improvements that protect customer outcomes.
I’m comfortable serving as the senior escalation point for critical client issues while driving operational performance—holding SLA attainment above 99% and reducing resolution times by more than 30% through standardized escalation paths, quality standards, and root cause discipline.
I own operational budgeting and vendor relationships, and I’ve uncovered more than $550K in annual savings through contract renegotiation and process efficiency—while still raising service quality and preserving client trust.
I build the structures that scale: performance-review cadence, coaching and accountability, queue health and KPI dashboards (Power BI, Datadog), and hiring/onboarding/capacity planning aligned to demand. I’m also hands-on with ITSM modernization, including ServiceNow workflow standardization, automation, and documentation that keeps operations audit-ready—especially in regulated healthcare environments.
