PR O FE SS IO NAL E X PER IE N CE
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS: ONLINE LENDING: RURAL RESOURCE CENTERSAdvance Financial 24/7, Nashville, TN / Aug 2018 – Present � Developed and managed the expansion of the Corporate Online
Lending Department through remote contact center locations
built within existing brick and mortars. � The Rural Resource Center Project was completed within 11
Months and resulted in 9 additional locations and 45 additional
customer service agents specializing in Online Lending products. �Project Management aspects included Location Selection, Design,
Construction & Re-Model, as well as Vendor Management efforts. �Staffing efforts included Recruiting, Interviews, Hiring, and
Scheduling of 45 employees. A Turnover Rate of 6% was
achieved due to the New Business Model that included
improvements to Scheduling, Environment, Culture, and
Recruitment Techniques. �Operational Achievements included developing and directly
managing the Creation, Implementation, and Roll-out of all
Process, Policy, and and Key Performance Indicators. The Rural
Resource Center Teams performed within the top 10% of all

The Rural Resource Center Project expanded the Corporate Call
Center: Online Lending Department by a total of 9 locations and
45 employees in less than one year. This expansion allowed the
company to expand its digital footprint within existing retail
locations, while creating more job opportunities in rural
communities. This project required extensive collaboration on a
daily basis with all company departments including the CEO,
COO, CFO, Project Management, Recruiting, I.T., Human
Resources, and Compliance Teams. The project also demanded
collaboration with all Field Operations teams due to the Rural
Resource Center teams remaining under the corporate umbrella,
yet operating within a Retail/Field Location. This made it critical
to control and develop communication channels between all levels
of management and staff in order to remain aligned with
company expectations. Because of the structure of the business
model, the Rural Resource Center Teams were able to
consistently out-perform both the Corporate and Off-Shore Call
Center teams in all areas of Key Performance Indicators.
