About

With over 2 decades of experience in customer experience and service design leadership, I have driven impactful transformations in global organizations like Meta, Uber, and Accor. At Meta, we enhanced advertiser support tooling by leveraging cutting-edge service design principles to optimize customer operations. Previously at Uber, my team spearheaded global service design projects, streamlining processes and delivering scalable solutions. My approach integrates strategic vision with operational excellence, ensuring measurable outcomes and customer satisfaction. Passionate about AI-driven innovations, I am currently acquiring expertise in no-code AI and data science solutions through MIT Professional Education, and taking some time to learn operational implementation of N8N. This aligns with my mission to empower organizations with intelligent tools and strategies that drive customer-centric growth. Open to exploring roles where I can contribute to reshaping customer experience through leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

  • a) Become a Certified AgentForce Consultant with Salesforce.
  • b) No-Code AI/ML DataScience solutions (With MIT)
