Responsible for KPIs for social engagements and customer incident communications.Assisted with launching and running new projects and investigating new areas of opportunity.Responsible for 6-8 direct reports.I was initially promoted to a leadership position in Redmond, and was soon offered the opportunity to relocate to Dublin to support the team there. I accepted and, in Aug 2016, transitioned from Redmond to Dublin to lead out EMEA team for 12 months. During that time, I helped turn around morale in Dublin, brought our team up to benchmarks for Livesite QA, and worked to restore client faith in the program. Our team now consistently hits KPIs for Livesite and Social support metrics, and has delivered on multiple high-visibility projects with great results.
