I acted as a liaison between technical teams and the lines of business, providing timely, accurate updates and summaries of outages and significant events. I also worked closely with both our IT Service Desk and Customer Service Call Centers across the country to not only ensure their needs and impacts were documented, but to ensure both areas had timely and meaningful information to provide to their representatives. Each morning, I facilitated a Daily Client Impact Meeting which discussed the previous day's critical incidents in non technical language which allowed our business partners and IT personnel to clearly understand how each incident impacted the organization.
