Summary

Yesenia Diaz
“Customer-centricity should be about delivering value for customers that will eventually create value for the company.”  Robert Thompson, Author & CEO, CustomerThink
My work is driven by a passion to understand customer needs across markets, and to create solutions that increase active engagement and sales. My experience is multi-functional with a focus on omni-channel engagement strategies and digital product management.

I've led local and co-located teams and spent six months in Brazil launching digital consumer products. As a global citizen, native New Yorker, and a Dominican-American, I understand what makes customers tick across the globe and my fluency in three languages ensures meaningful dialogue across verticals.

By actively tracking trends, leveraging emerging technologies, and customer behavioral data, I'm able to define best practices, develop new touch points and enrich customer experiences.

Questions & Answers

Describe your greatest accomplishment.
On a 6-month assignment in São Paulo, Brazil, I developed strategies for the local credit card business and was able to position the local lending products & new card activation program for higher contact, transfer & conversion rates. I accomplished this by designing strategy and launching a pilot program for outbound interactive voice response initiatives to reduce customer pain points, operational issues and expenses.

In assessing the current customer experience, I leveraged my previous experience and proposed a technology solution to create a streamlined process for customers, and operational teams. I also developed new behavior driven segmentation models and marketing strategies for existing customer offers, which aligned programs for improved customer spending, brand loyalty, and  industry indicators.  Full go-to market plans were delivered at the end of my assignment.
