Valentina Ferreri
@valentinaferreri1
I grow client relationships and streamline customer operations across international B2B and B2C accounts.
What I'm looking for
I've managed client relationships, service delivery, and customer operations across Italy, DACH, the UK, Ireland, and international markets for over 10 years.
At bk Group, I led long-term delivery and partner relationships for major retail accounts, restored a critical relationship with Coach, and helped expand the portfolio to Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman. I also coordinated multi-site projects and owned Italian sales and procurement strategy on an executive pandemic-response task force.
At Dante Labs and Apple, I handled high-volume, high-stakes customer cases, risk reviews, escalations, and technical guidance while meeting strict SLAs. I developed risk-based case triage, used KPI reporting to identify bottlenecks, and received the AppleCare Excellence Award for support quality.
Today, I coordinate nationwide partners and vendors at Gruppo IBS, improving workflows, resolving urgent operational disruptions, and supporting quoting and billing. I work fluently in Italian, English, and German, and I also provide freelance translation and MTPE services.
