@patriciauser8
I redesign customer operations and digital experiences to eliminate friction and build loyalty.
What I'm looking for
I've led customer experience, service operations, and transformation work across EdTech, insurance, e-commerce, telecommunications, healthcare, and public-sector organizations. At uPlanner, I managed 15 education institutions across Chile, Peru, and Argentina, supporting 30+ product implementations while maintaining client retention close to 90%.
At Asurion, I improved device-replacement compliance from 90% to 98%, helped establish an NPS-driven calibration model replicated across LATAM, and delivered a digital welcome package with 100% delivery rates and 90% lower communication costs. At Ripley Perú, I built e-commerce operations across customer service, logistics, and fulfillment, increasing service levels by 50% and doubling call-handling capacity.
I work where technology, business, and human-centered design meet: mapping journeys, connecting cross-functional teams, and turning customer insight into practical change. I'm especially drawn to remote-first, internationally distributed, mission-driven teams that challenge the status quo.
