Senior director focused on data-led customer experience and operations, delivering efficiency gains and measurable retention.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and customer experience leader with 12+ years of experience building scalable systems and high-performing teams in complex, fast-paced environments. I transform fragmented operations into streamlined customer experiences using data-led diagnostics and process discipline. My work centers on operational excellence—delivering measurable results while building transparent, accountable cultures.
In my current director role, I orchestrate day-to-day operations to protect mission focus and ensure financial health. I partner with leadership to translate vision into actionable plans, managing budgeting, compliance, and multi-program operations. I’ve enhanced efficiency by 40% in 12 months, reduced operational costs by 60% in 6 months, and increased engagement by 20% through strategic partnerships and targeted vendor outreach.
Earlier, I pioneered a data-led Account Diagnostic retention model that achieved save rates 10–15% above team averages and reduced operational costs by 60% within 6 months. I’ve led turnaround initiatives for high-risk locations, driving 70–85% month-over-month performance improvements and up to 12% revenue growth through rigorous coaching and process discipline. I also use root-cause thinking and real-time workflow visibility to eliminate silos, reduce manual follow-ups, and improve customer outcomes.
Across customer-facing and technical roles, I’ve streamlined support workflows (improving response times by 20%), improved customer satisfaction (20%), and reduced churn (15% in 6 months) with targeted retention and communication strategies. I’m comfortable partnering cross-functionally across Billing, Technical, and Policy teams, and I’ve led high-value executive escalations to restore trust and retain complex accounts.
