Operations and collections leader improving revenue recovery through coaching and analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and collections leader with 25+ years of experience managing call center teams, A/R operations, and revenue recovery programs across financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare. I focus on driving measurable outcomes through performance coaching, analytics, and process improvement.
I’ve led high-performing teams—such as a 21-member banking call center team—by managing staffing, performance metrics, service goals, and daily coaching. I translate KPI trends into action plans to improve call efficiency, customer satisfaction, and revenue recovery.
In accounts receivable and collections roles, I managed delinquency across multiple aging stages and reduced risk through credit reviews, payment trend analysis, and compliance-minded decisions. I’ve also negotiated settlements, payment plans, and loan modifications, and coordinated recovery efforts with external collection agencies.
I’m equally committed to capability-building: I’ve designed and delivered training for 500+ employees, including onboarding and compliance training, and supported large-scale operational readiness. With Six Sigma and instructional design experience, I bring structure, quality assurance, and continuous improvement to every initiative.
