About
Hi, I'm AJ, a Senior CX Operations Leader who helps brands turn support into a competitive advantage. With nearly two decades of experience in customer service and over five years of leading CX operations for fast-growing DTC and CPG companies, I focus on building scalable systems that drive efficiency without compromising the human touch.
My foundation in empathy and communication began early in my career as a flight attendant, where I learned that small, consistent moments can create lasting trust. That experience continues to shape how I design processes, guide teams, and build systems that empower people and deliver exceptional customer experiences at scale.
My leadership philosophy is simple: support the people who support your customers.
When teams feel equipped, trusted, and valued, great CX follows. It is not just about faster responses; it is about building trust through thoughtful, consistent experiences that scale.
