About Ross

I transform Customer Experience (CX) (customer support, customer care, customer services, etc) from an operational cost center into a high-ROI growth engine.

As a Senior CX Consultant and Zendesk Advanced Partner, I help leaders across a diverse range of industries scale their support operations while significantly reducing overhead. My background includes over 25 years of business transformation expertise, anchored by a significant tenure at IBM and my current role as Founder and Technical CEO of alboz..

Key Outcomes Delivered:
  • Operational Savings: Proven track record of reducing customer-facing operational costs by up to 65%.
  • Rapid Scaling: Managed full rollouts of Zendesk for 3,000+ global users, delivering on 200+ complex requirements.
  • Staff Efficiency: Transformed support functions for a large EU Fintech resulting in a 39% staff cost reduction over two years.
  • AI Transformation: As a Zendesk Certified AI Expert, I deploy AI-infused solutions that accelerate ROI to as quick as 6 months.
Typical Projects & Deliverables:
  • Zendesk Implementation & Optimization: Global rollouts, custom CX architecture, and workflow design.
  • AI Strategy & Integration: Deployed AI-infused translation and complex integrations using API, Python, and automation platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier).
  • Data Migration: Extracted, transformed and loaded large volumes of customer data from multiple sources (structured or unstructured) into Zendesk and Salesforce.
  • Technical Writing & Governance: Delivery of internal/external documents, knowledge articles, and ITIL-compliant processes.
  • Fintech CX Advisory: Strategy for high-growth firms requiring PCI DSS compliance and seamless client experiences.
Whether you are seeking to reduce support volume through AI or require a global technical implementation, I provide the expertise to ensure your CX platform is scalable, efficient, and profitable.
