Senior operations and customer escalations leader with 20+ years’ experience delivering regulated, high-volume service programs across government and healthcare environments. I specialise in designing scalable service frameworks, rebuilding escalation pathways, and resolving complex, high-risk matters involving executive stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and vulnerable clients. Across national programs, I have led distributed teams, rewritten enterprise escalation frameworks, reduced repeat escalations by 40%, improved first-contact resolution by 30%, and implemented workflow automation that reduced manual handling by 40% while strengthening compliance integrity. My background spans legislative service delivery, governance reporting, vulnerability strategy, crisis-response protocol design, and executive-level complaint management. I am comfortable operating in high-accountability environments where risk, compliance, and service stability matter. Seeking fully remote operations, service delivery, compliance, or escalations leadership roles where I can build structure, improve performance, and strengthen defensible decision-making frameworks at scale.
