I lead multi-market customer operations that improve CX, performance, and retention.
What I'm looking for
At Teleperformance, I lead large-scale customer operations for clients including Bolt and Sunking, aligning service delivery with customer experience, client, and business objectives.
I currently oversee 400+ agents and 25 supervisors across South Africa, New Zealand, Lebanon, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, supporting voice and digital operations across multiple lines of business.
I've increased CSAT by over 10%, improved first-contact resolution by more than 12%, and led workflow and training changes that reduced live-chat handling time from 12 to 6 minutes. I also lowered abandon rates from 28 to 11 cases per 100 interactions while sustaining KPI scores above 95.
My background spans banking, fintech, real estate, and BPO environments, from customer support and high-net-worth client service to customer success, escalation management, retention, and operational improvement.
