Operations & Leadership

I run multi-country service operations, and I build the leaders who run them.

Director of Operations across Colombia and the Philippines. About ten client programs, with P&L, service delivery, workforce management, and leadership development on my desk.

How I work

Two ideas do most of the work

Operations improve when the people running them can see the numbers in time to act on them. Not in a monthly deck, not after the client notices. In time.

And teams hold together when leaders are built rather than hired. Someone off your own floor already knows the accounts and the clients. The only thing missing is the leadership craft, and that is the part you can actually teach.

Most of what I have delivered comes from applying those two things patiently, in that order, with a scorecard behind them so nobody has to guess where they stand.

What that produced

The numbers

From the last two years running multi-country delivery.

8 → 15%

Operating margin, in six months. Revenue up 12% against budget, opex down 9%.

100%

Leadership team retained.

~75%

Of new team leads promoted from inside the floor.

5 → 10

Client programs, with profit per head held at target.

20 → 78%

Clean call rate, from a quality pilot run at zero incremental cost.

44%

Cut in fixed operating cost, enabling headcount growth at near-flat marginal cost.

93%+

Quality sustained across every service line.

Zero

Client escalations across key accounts, on a monthly business review cadence.
