I am a Technical Support Operations Manager with a proven track record of success at Zen, where I lead a team of 5 Team Leaders in managing and serving a large customer base of 120,000 B2C and B2B customers. My focus is on driving a people-first approach to customer service, recognizing that happy employees lead to delighted customers.I have been instrumental in driving Zen's impressive growth over the past 3 years, with a 60% increase in the customer base. Despite this growth, I have ensured that we have maintained operational efficiency through the identification and elimination of wasteful practices. By investing in our people and their development, I have been able to achieve rapid internal turnover of promoted staff, which has enabled us to meet the challenges of high volume recruitment.My approach to recruitment is based on emotional intelligence rather than just experience and I have been able to reduce the time to competence for new hires through targeted training. I have also been successful in delivering improvement projects across the organization using my ITILv4 Foundation knowledge and I'm always eager to explore new approaches to better serve our customers.Prior to my current role, I spent 3 years enhancing my commercial awareness in Proposition Management and Product Management roles, also at Zen. I bring this experience to my current role, where I am focused on ensuring that Zen's customers receive the highest quality service possible.In my spare time, I have developed a passion for virtual reality and have become a certified Builder in Meta Horizon Worlds, where I have honed my skills in creating worlds, buildings, and experiences.
