## About

Professional summaryI am a Customer Support Team Lead with more than 10 years of experience building and scaling 24/7 multilingual support operations in iGaming and regulated digital services.

I have led high-performing teams across live chat, email, phone, WhatsApp, Telegram, and social channels, with a strong focus on SLA ownership, KPI improvement, and service recovery. My background includes supporting sportsbook, casino, live dealer, and crypto/fiat payment environments for Tier-1 brands.

I am especially experienced in VIP and high-roller support, escalation management, and collaboration with Risk, Fraud, Payments, and Compliance teams. I have worked extensively with KYC/AML, chargebacks, bonus abuse prevention, and responsible gambling processes.

I use data and coaching to improve team performance, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency. My work has helped reduce escalations, improve first-contact resolution, strengthen QA scores, and lower public complaints through root-cause analysis and proactive fixes.

I am comfortable working with AI chatbots, omnichannel support platforms, and reporting tools to improve service quality and team productivity. I also bring hands-on experience with workforce planning, forecasting, and performance reporting.

I am open to remote, hybrid, on-site, and relocation opportunities, and I am looking for a leadership role where I can continue improving customer operations, retention, and service excellence in fast-paced environments.
