Operations & Quality Leader driving SLA excellence, workforce optimization, and high-performance BPO teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations & Quality Management leader with 9+ years of experience delivering 98%+ SLA compliance, 40% team performance growth, and 30% defect reduction in fast-paced BPO environments. I thrive on workforce planning, process improvement, and structured performance systems.
As a Team Lead at Samasource Kenya (Oct 2024 – Feb 2026), I led and coached a team of 20+ agents, improving performance scores by 40% within 3 months. I run weekly quality reviews and training, reduced escalation cases by 25%, and consistently ensured 98% SLA adherence on client deliverables.
Before that, as a Quality Analyst (May 2018 – Oct 2024), I developed and implemented quality frameworks that improved accuracy rates by 18%. Through targeted coaching and root cause analyses, I cut defect rates by 15% and reduced critical errors by 30% in 2 months, with QA reporting used for executive-level decision-making.
I began as an Agent (Sep 2016 – May 2018), where I boosted category accuracy by 30% through e-commerce listing optimization, maintained strong data integrity in high-volume labeling, and helped reduce rework by 20% by collaborating on a peer review checklist. I bring this same practical, data-driven mindset to coaching, audit compliance, and continuous improvement.
