Operational improvement

Turning process insight into operating savings.

Led cross-functional operational and digital transformation projects across Agoda, Booking.com, and Priceline, combining data analysis with practical implementation.

The context

Operational and digital transformation · 2022–2023.

Improve processes that crossed company and departmental boundaries. The work called for a clear view of cost drivers, alignment between teams, and delivery of changes that could be measured in operating performance.

My contribution

  • Led operational and digital transformation initiatives with a 14-person team.
  • Used data analysis to define problems, identify opportunities, and develop solutions.
  • Coordinated intercompany support-process redesign.
  • Delivered improvements across product strategy, machine learning, and virtual-card processes.

The result

Achieved a 25% cost reduction through intercompany support-process redesign and delivered $1.2 million in annual savings through the combined product and process improvement initiatives.
