I lead KPI-driven teams as an Operations & Project Manager.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations and Project Manager who leads KPI-driven teams and delivers projects in complex, cross-functional environments—including Generative AI programs. I focus on reliable, compliance-ready execution backed by data-driven decision-making.
In operations leadership, I’ve improved quality scores from 80% to 90%+ through structured coaching, performance management, and continuous feedback. I track and analyze KPIs across quality, productivity, accuracy, and SLA adherence, turning operational signals into actionable guidance for senior stakeholders.
I bring strong stakeholder management and end-to-end delivery discipline, coordinating workflows and logistics across multiple countries in high-pressure settings. I evaluate timelines, detect bottlenecks, strengthen alignment with partners, and ensure reporting and compliance requirements are met.
Across roles, I’ve consistently optimized processes, reduced operational risk, and introduced continuous improvement initiatives. From workforce planning and onboarding support to risk management and audit readiness, I build stable operations while driving measurable performance gains.
