What I'm looking for

My proven expertise in operations management, team leadership, and strategic planning has led to the successful implementation of quality assurance programs. I have a track record of optimizing call center performance and developing customer retention strategies that significantly reduced churn rates.

As the Founder of Kalm Holdings Pty Ltd, I craft premium scented candles and skincare products while overseeing order management and financial planning. My previous roles, including Contact Centre Manager at Botswana Power Corporation and Head of Contact Centre at Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited, have equipped me with a practical approach to problem-solving and a commitment to maintaining high service standards. I am poised to drive organizational success and exceed customer expectations.
