• Helping to own the long-term vision and strategy for Outsourcing Quality across outsourced support and enforcement programs, including defining success metrics and operating models that scale

• Designing and evolving advanced QA frameworks, evaluation methodologies, and governance models that drive clarity, consistency, and accountability across partners. This includes rubric design and maintenance to enable insight generation.
