• Track record of leading large‑scale transformation programs across industries (preferably telecom, agriculture, or consumer sectors).
• Demonstrated expertise in contact‑center customer journey mapping and optimization.
• Proven experience in process simplification and automation within contact‑center environments.
• Strong expertise in operating‑model redesign, process automation, CX‑driven transformation, and change management.
