About Kevin

With 15 years' experience in customer relationship management, I have developed expertise in managing teams dedicated to customer service excellence. At Getaround, I supervised three centres with over 100 employees and managed innovative training projects at Comdata Group, demonstrating my ability to adapt and innovate.

Trustpilot
I bring the expertise to help your business centralise online reviews in one place and take full advantage of the powerful tools of the Trustpilot platform. Together, we can build a more balanced and positive public image for your brand, promoting trust and growth. More information: sup.coop/en/trustpilot

Zendesk
I've been working with Zendesk since 2017, offering a wide range of services to elevate your customer support. From automating repetitive tickets and opening up new communication channels to optimising internal and external helpdesks, I can help you modernise your operations. What's more, I'll help you refine triggers and ensure accurate reporting so you can make informed decisions.

Wordpress
With over 15 years' experience using WordPress, I can help you create a new site, troubleshoot your existing site and navigate the complexities of hosting. In addition, I can integrate your WordPress site with the tools you use on a daily basis to streamline your workflows and improve efficiency.

To develop my business in line with my values, I decided to join Coopaname. Coopaname is a cooperative of activities and employment (Scop), bringing together salaried entrepreneurs (partners) around a collective project.
