@maxmatthecka
Operations manager driving systems, revenue growth and team performance.
I am an adaptable operations leader with over eight years' experience bridging hospitality and technology, focused on converting chaotic environments into structured, profitable operations.
I've led hotels and property portfolios, implemented performance management systems and SOPs, and delivered measurable revenue uplifts such as a 15% YOY increase in accommodation revenue and a 10% hotel revenue gain.
My background includes hands-on logistics, vendor management, payroll coordination and acting as the operational bridge between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders to align projects with business objectives.
I am currently seeking a remote Operations or Executive Assistant role where I can apply process re-engineering, change management and team leadership to solve complex problems and drive operational excellence.
