What I write about

Six Focus Areas

Insights drawn from twelve years of operational leadership — not theory, but the specific problems, frameworks, and hard-won lessons from building and running the teams that make businesses work.

About

The Person Behind the Data

I’m a Director of Shared Services — but that title undersells the career that shaped it.

For 12+ years I’ve led operational teams at global scale: managing 160–190 technical support staff across three continents at Tyco/JCI, directing a support transformation through M&A at AudienceView, implementing one of the earlier enterprise AI deployments for ticket intelligence at Q4 Inc, and now building the BI and data infrastructure that powers internal decision-making for a multi-line SaaS business.

I’ve run follow-the-sun support models, implemented Six Sigma in contact centres, built Voice of Customer programs from scratch, and authored BRDs across 140+ projects. This site is where I share the frameworks, the failures, and the lessons.

Career highlights

Twelve Projects. Real Numbers.

From a 190-person global support operation to a $200K AI deployment — the work that shaped how I think about data, operations, and leadership.
