What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations role in travel or aviation where I can standardize multi-branch processes, lead teams, negotiate vendor partnerships, and drive measurable improvements in customer satisfaction and cost efficiency.

I am a results-oriented Customer Service and Operations Manager with over 18 years of leadership experience in travel, tourism, and aviation. I specialize in multi-location operations, vendor negotiation, and delivering outstanding customer satisfaction through process improvement and SOP implementation.

Throughout my career I have managed regional teams, standardized branch operations, and developed strategic partnerships with airlines and hospitality partners. I am proficient with GDS systems (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo), CRM tools, and KPI-driven reporting that supports operational and financial goals.

I take a proactive, client-focused approach to problem solving, with notable achievements in reducing booking errors, improving turnaround times, and negotiating vendor contracts that produced measurable cost savings.
