I’m a Certified Call Center Manager, consultant, and trainer to customer contact centers, and a former customer service executive with over 25 years’ experience developing and directing world-class customer service teams in two Fortune 500 organizations that were recognized with several prestigious awards for excellence in service. I also consult with nonprofit youth organizations to elevate organizational performance, and I am a adjudicator and music composer/arranger for competitive marching bands and drum corps.I am currently a Senior Consultant and Senior Trainer for BenchmarkPortal, the global leader in call center benchmarking, certification, training and consulting. Prior to BMP, I was an Assistant Vice President of Operations at Citibank, in charge of a team of agents handling branded credit card accounts. Prior to Citi, I was Director of Client Services for Hyatt Legal Plans, a MetLife Company, where I directed a 65 seat inbound call center operation that won 17 awards for service excellence, positioning Hyatt as a leader in customer service. In this role, I was instrumental in helping Hyatt grow from 12 customers in 1989 to over 2,000 and $240m in annual revenue.Colleagues know me as a creative thinker who can be trusted to have a global view while looking for a new approach. But I know that other’s opinions are critical to team success, so I never impose my ideas on others. Instead, I spend time listening and understanding the business and the audience before making recommendations. I can, and often do, work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with others in a team environment.For fun, I work with nonprofit musical youth organizations around the country teaching music students and consulting with their educational staff on teaching strategies in a team environment.
