Michele Iemma
@micheleiemma
I improve global customer support operations, quality, incident response, and service delivery outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 20+ years improving customer support operations, service quality, and incident response across global environments.
At Foundever, I led quality governance for a remote call center, standardizing audits and corrective actions while coaching frontline teams to improve service consistency.
During my Ericsson career, I led 25 engineers across five countries, reduced return-to-operation time from 29 hours to 2 hours per incident, and implemented a support-center process that reduced annual OPEX by 11%.
I've also built an emergency support center for L3 operations, trained Recovery Leaders across Mexico, India, and China, improved customer satisfaction from 89% to 95%, and helped global teams adopt standardized support models.
