    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.

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 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.
