Transformational customer service leader driving operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
What I'm looking for
I am a customer service leader with over 21 years of experience driving operations, quality and measurable improvements across large service networks.
I have led service expansions and operational turnarounds—setting up 225 service centers at Xiaomi in 18 months, reducing repeat repair rates from 8% to 2.4%, improving NPS dramatically, and launching a 52-agent technical support desk to boost First Call Resolution.
I lead cross-functional teams to implement cost efficiencies, process improvements and technology-enabled support while building high-performing teams focused on consistent service delivery and continuous improvement.
