INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Oct 1997-Mar 2005
Snr Project Manager, Global Support Services, Symantec Corporation (* now Norton)
Description Symantec was a global Antivirus and Information Security software vendor

Responsible for mentoring and preparing service delivery teams across Europe and Asia, internal process design and implementation for the global support services team, and developing service business opportunities within emerging markets in eastern Europe, the Middle-East and Africa

Key Projects and Accomplishments

Designed and implemented a global call centre allowing customers anywhere in the world to access technical staff 24×7 for assistance with critical software issues.

This allowed customers to contact customer service teams as soon as they discovered problems, reducing the time to resolve customer issues globally, leading to an overall increase in customer satisfaction.

In consultation with peers in the USA, significantly enhanced the process for preparing the global customer service and technical teams for new product releases by introducing a structured education programme tailored to the specific requirements of service team members in each country. Improved awareness of new product functionality amongst customer service teams enabled service staff to provide a higher quality of service which had the dual benefit of improving customer satisfaction and increasing morale within the customer service teams leading to a reduction in the rate of staff turn-over.

From 2000-2005, grew the 10-person customer service team providing telephone support to home users in Australia & New Zealand, into a highly skilled 50-person team providing consulting services, customer service & technical support to home, corporate & government clients across the Asia-Pacific region
