What I'm looking for
I am a senior operations leader with extensive experience managing Visa Application Centers across the Caribbean, focused on operational excellence and stakeholder relations.
In my recent roles at VFS Caribbean I oversaw multi-country operations, acted as a primary contact for government missions (Canada & UK), and led teams to improve turnaround times and client satisfaction.
I built and implemented process improvements, managed escalations with diplomacy under pressure, prepared operational reports and performance metrics for senior leadership, and supervised inventory, training, and compliance activities.
I communicate fluently in Spanish, English and French (intermediate Italian), and I bring a customer-service mindset combined with strong management, training, and quality-control experience to drive results.
