Customer Experience Executive
Safaricom PLC
Apr 2018 - Mar 2024
Key Achievements:
The one I'm most proud of is driving a 30% reduction in cross-team escalation resolution time at Safaricom not by working harder individually, but by fixing how cases were documented and handed off between teams. It was a process problem nobody had officially named, and fixing it made the whole operation faster, not just my own numbers. Beyond that sustaining a 92% first-contact resolution rate and CSAT scores above 85% across seven years in a fully monitored environment. Those aren't numbers from a good quarter. They held consistently, which I think says more than a one-time result would. And more recently, maintaining 98% CRM documentation accuracy at Mageluna with zero compliance flags while ranking in the top 20% of the team for three consecutive quarters in a fully remote environment. But honestly, the achievement I'd point to above all of those is the consistency itself. Doing good work once is straightforward. Doing it at the same standard across 13 years, across different organisations, different environments, and different challenges that's the thing I'd want someone to take away.
