  • Experience with Automation: Proven background in customer service automation technologies (chatbots, AI-powered support).
  • Accountability: Full responsibility for customer service P&L, operational goals, and related contracts.
  • Staff Management: Expertise in workforce forecasting, action plan development, and large-scale procurement management.
