    I specialize in Product Information Management (PIM) implementation, product data enrichment, and Customer Success for B2B SaaS and eCommerce platforms — with deep hands-on expertise in Akeneo and a growing practice in AI-assisted product content workflows. With 16,000+ logged hours and Top Rated Plus status, I bring enterprise-grade reliability to every engagement. My work sits at the intersection of technical product operations and customer-facing success: I onboard manufacturers and distributors, structure product taxonomies, manage attribute mapping, validate data quality, and ensure customers and internal teams get the most out of their PIM investment. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Akeneo configuration and administration, product catalog setup, attribute group management, taxonomy design, data validation rules, digital asset linking, and quality-of-life improvements for data teams.

I have managed product onboarding workflows from raw manufacturer data through to enriched, publish-ready records. 𝐀𝐈-𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: I integrate AI into day-to-day product and support workflows: generating and refining product descriptions, building prompt templates for consistent content enrichment, automating repetitive data tasks, drafting support responses, and using AI to flag quality issues in large datasets. Tools include ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. This reduces manual effort and improves consistency across high-volume catalogs and support queues. 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Full-cycle client onboarding for SaaS platforms: kickoff through go-live. I handle implementation support, user training, process documentation, issue escalation, and long-term account health monitoring — reducing time-to-value for customers and support burden for internal teams. 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Omnichannel support management via Zendesk, Gorgias, Intercom, and Salesforce. Team leadership, QA monitoring, SLA management, macro and template development, and performance reporting. I have managed support operations for eCommerce brands at scale. 𝐞𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Product listing management, order operations, seller support, and store-level operations across major eCommerce platforms including Amazon Seller Central and eBay.

    I am a highly results-oriented individual with over 10 years of experience in customer service. I thrive in team settings and work efficiently to solve customer problems while remaining cool under pressure. With my last few years of employment being remote, I have also learned that I am extremely comfortable with being independent and providing only the highest quality of work with minimal supervision. This shines through with my performance each and every day and with the quality of work I provide. I am highly skilled in live chat, email and phone support. I am familiar with many remote tools such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, HelpScout, LiveChat, Slack and Hipchat to name a few. I also am a very quick learner and catch on to new systems and programs with ease. Some of the qualities I will bring to your team include: • Customer Service: I have a track record of solving all types of customer issues I am faced with in an effective, professional and empathetic manner. My personal KPI’s have always been consistently high and I attribute this to truly putting the customer first and being understanding throughout all interactions. • Professional Attitude: As my references will attest, I have a knack for staying positive and upbeat, regardless of the situation and do my best to create an environment that is non-judgmental and open. • Passion and Motivation: I have a true passion for customer service and take pride in making customers happy. Building relationships and making personal impacts is important to me. I am also highly motivated to progress in my career and eager to grow and succeed with every position I hold.

    I’m an Amazon Marketplace Consultant with 7 years of hands-on experience helping brands manage, troubleshoot and improve their Amazon operations. My strength is execution. I don’t just provide recommendations — I can go inside Seller Central, investigate what’s happening, implement the required changes, work through Amazon support issues and follow through until the job is completed. I have experience working across Amazon US, Canada, Australia, UK, France, Italy, Spain and Germany, giving me a strong understanding of managing Amazon catalogs across multiple marketplaces. How I Can Help Amazon Seller Central Management Seller Central account support New product and ASIN setup Listing creation and optimization SKU and ASIN management FBA and FBM listing management Inventory and offer updates Pricing and Buy Box troubleshooting Listing health monitoring Catalog & Listing Troubleshooting One of my strongest areas is solving Amazon catalog problems. I can assist with: Suppressed listings Incorrect listing information Attribute conflicts Parent/child variation issues Broken variations Flat file errors Duplicate or conflicting catalog contributions Brand attribute issues Category and browse-node issues Content not reflecting on the live PDP Seller Support case creation and escalation I’m comfortable investigating an issue from the backend, comparing the catalog data against the live PDP, identifying possible causes and working with Amazon until there is a clear resolution. Flat Files & Variation Management I have extensive hands-on experience using Amazon Excel Flat Files for bulk catalog management. This includes: Creating parent/child variations Restructuring existing variations Bulk content updates Attribute corrections SKU/ASIN updates Troubleshooting upload errors Reviewing Category Listing Reports Auditing backend catalog information against live listings Amazon Brand Registry I have experience working with Brand Registry and Amazon support on catalog and brand-related issues, including: Brand corrections Catalog conflicts Incorrect product information Listing contribution issues Brand-related Seller Support cases Escalating unresolved catalog problems A+ Content & Brand Stores I can manage the execution of Amazon's customer-facing brand content, including: Standard A+ Content Premium A+ Content Amazon Brand Stores Desktop and mobile content implementation Image and video placement Product page organization Content updates and publishing Coordination with designers and content teams I can take approved copy and creative assets and turn them into properly implemented Amazon content. Amazon Andon Cord & Complex Cases I have hands-on experience managing Amazon Andon Cord investigations. This includes: Investigating reported product issues Coordinating product and inventory checks Gathering supporting documentation Preparing Amazon responses Working with specifications, manuals and test documentation Following cases through investigation and reinstatement SEO, Content & PPC Coordination I understand how Amazon SEO, catalog structure, content and PPC work together. I can coordinate with SEO, creative and PPC specialists to make sure approved keywords and content are properly implemented on the listing and that the PDP supports the advertising strategy. Multi-Marketplace Amazon Management Experience across: Amazon US | CA | AU | UK | FR | IT | ES | DE I can help brands maintain consistency across marketplaces while troubleshooting marketplace-specific catalog and operational issues. My Working Style I’m hands-on, detail-oriented and solutions-focused. When I encounter an Amazon problem, my approach is to investigate first, understand what is actually happening in the backend, identify the most practical solution, execute it and monitor the result. I’m comfortable working independently, but I also work well across teams including: SEO • PPC • Catalog • Creative • Operations • Inventory • Customer Support I believe good Amazon management isn't just about knowing Seller Central. It’s about understanding how all these areas connect and making sure the execution actually happens. What You Can Expect From Me You can expect someone who will take ownership of the Amazon work assigned to me, communicate clearly, document progress and follow issues through instead of simply opening a support case and waiting. Whether you need help cleaning up a catalog, building variations, launching products, improving your A+ Content, managing Brand Registry issues or investigating a complicated Seller Central problem, I can step in and help move the work forward. Need Help With Your Amazon Account? If you have an Amazon catalog problem, an upcoming product launch, listings that need improvement, or ongoing Seller Central work that needs experienced hands, I’d be happy to take a look. Send me a message with the issue you’re facing and your marketplace, and we can discuss the best way to approach it.
