I have Built, Operated, and Transferred critical functions in the company. My primary focus was to build Customer Care as a proper function and eventually transition Qawafel to have its Customer Experience department that oversaw the experience through marketing, sales, operations, and overall service gaps. The approach was to enable Voice-of-Customers from both the buy and supply sides. This included:- Setting up reports using data visualization tools such as Metabase.- Enabling a ticketing solution (Zendesk) to feed the product's strategy.- Defining department and business procedures, identifying ICPs/personas, and customer journey, and establishing marketing & and sales funnel definitions and assignment rules. - Measuring CSAT, and NPS, and ensuring VoC can be captured from multi-touchpoints. - Developing a weekly habit where members from cross-departments and multi-levels would listen to the team's insights to amplify VoC and invite everyone to contribute towards better CX. I also acted as an interim Marketing Manager to set the baseline until the department became self-sufficient and had its dedicated manager. I also played a substantial role in filling gaps within the company across a variety of other departments such as Trade Finance inception, Supply team's SOPs, Data department to name a few. I have also assisted during the seed stage funding with preparing the data room, projections, planning and introductions to investors, and due diligence meetings.My most recent responsibilities were more versatile. It involved managing company-wide initiatives & plans to redefine our business model, company direction, product offerings and business repositioning. This included my responsibility to establish OKRs and steer all company heads towards achieving them, redefining revenue operations (RevOps and CRO), and assisting with department SOPs, recruitment, and assuming other strategic responsibilities.
