There’s much to be said for climbing the ranks at a single organization in a changing industry. If you work hard and prove yourself (which I did), growth opportunities will follow (and they did.) As I progressed from executive assistant to executive leader, I learned to manage and motivate employees by working alongside those who do the heavy lifting. When morale is high, everyone wins.I manage relationships, not people. Resources reflect their leadership and when clients trust our word as much as our ability, they’re willing to test our ideas. Some work and some don’t, but by demonstrating our commitment to advance the industry and not just adapt to it, our value proposition becomes clear. When the drive to innovate is shared and embraced, great things happen—and everyone wins. Among my strengths and accomplishments: CLIENT SERVICE & PRODUCTIVITY – Improved the client experience and employee productivity by collaboratively building a portal, giving clients on-demand and self-serve access to review campaign performance and make real-time adjustments.IMPROVED DATA CAPTURE – Optimized returning customer flow to increase contact rates with lenders to consumers, a feature that was adopted by partnered affiliates.PROFITABLE FEEDBACK – Devised an anonymous feedback system to distinguish customer lead quality sold directly to clients—a system that enabled real-time feedback for faster analysis and verifiable data to support price-points. INTEGRITY & COMPLIANCE – Enforced compliance and ethical operations policies to become the only fintech provider to pass a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau audit without a single violation or fine—and earn additional client trust, respect, and reputation.
