@sharonokori
I improve information services, knowledge management, and project delivery across remote and customer-facing teams.
What I'm looking for
I deliver information services, knowledge management, and project coordination across education, insurance, technology recruitment, and customer support.
At Pellegrino Mpagi Foundation, I coordinate multiple remote projects across time zones, manage scope, budgets, timelines, resources, stakeholder communication, and risk mitigation. I also introduced post-project evaluations to capture lessons learned and improve future delivery.
Previously, I developed procedures, process guides, workflows, QA tools, and operational knowledge at Hiscox; supported UK customers at Living Brands/Sellbytel; and led a 15-person User Services team at Gulu University Library through its transition to an integrated library management system.
