Operations - Project Management - Continuous Improvement

As an Operations Manager at OferTap, a start-up company that developed a mobile application for coupons, deals, and offers, I have over three years of experience in leading the business plan, strategic management, and establishment of legal and financial foundations for the company. I am a Certified ScrumMaster by CertiProf and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt by the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, with strong skills in project management, continuous process improvement, and IT.

In my role, I lead a team of four developers using a variety of coding tools and languages for application and web portal development, and I develop and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy to promote the OferTap mobile application, including identifying target markets, defining digital advertising campaigns, and implementing effective tactics to increase user acquisition. I have successfully optimized campaign performance on Meta Ads and Google Ads through data analysis and strategic adjustments, resulting in over 4,000 downloads in eight months. I have also led the sponsorship and coordination of events with over 150 attendees, ensuring a memorable and engaging experience for potential users and partners. My focus is on maximizing operational efficiency, optimizing the supply chain, and driving continuous process improvement. I am an effective and creative communicator when it comes to solving complex problems, capable of identifying and addressing challenges to achieve outstanding results.
