Microsoft

Driving Operational Excellence for Microsoft’s FY23 Surface Incentive Management Program

As the primary operational project lead for Microsoft’s Surface Sales Incentive Programs (including AGI and MAL Accelerator), I supported the successful execution of global partner programs driving over $2 billion in revenue across 15+ international regions. Working under Concentrix, I collaborated with Microsoft’s internal stakeholders to ensure seamless program operations, incentive accuracy, and global field alignment. Key Contributions: Revenue Impact: Helped manage and track programs influencing more than $2B in revenue through incentive-driven partner engagement and sales performance. Global Target Setting: Led the end-to-end target-setting process for FY23 H1, coordinating across Finance, Operations, and the Field. Navigated a unique cycle involving entirely new stakeholders across business units while ensuring delivery under pressure. International Field Support: Managed the Surface AGI alias, fielding daily inquiries from Microsoft Partner Development Managers and sales leaders across 15+ countries. Maintained clear documentation and provided real-time support. Operational Execution: Collaborated cross-functionally with Finance, Reporting, and Ops teams to validate calculation models, manage accruals, and assist with quarterly payouts. Supported new program launches through documentation, comms, and readiness prep. Leadership & Mentorship: Progressed from Associate to a senior contributor by proactively supporting internal teams and the client. Onboarded new team members and became a go-to resource for historical context, guidance, and process clarity. This project not only strengthened my project management and stakeholder alignment skills, but also demonstrated my ability to manage high-impact programs under complex conditions—with measurable impact, strategic collaboration, and client trust at the core.

The North Face

Developing a Global Loyalty Strategy Roadmap for The North Face

Supported the development of a global loyalty roadmap for The North Face by managing the operational backbone of the engagement. As the project’s coordinator, I owned project timelines, oversaw meeting cadences, documented risks and deliverables in weekly recaps, and ensured accountability across stakeholders. My work helped drive alignment between client leadership and our consulting team, allowing us to deliver actionable insights around loyalty benefits, competitive offerings, and consumer behaviors across regions. This was my first project at Concentrix Catalyst, and despite internal staffing transitions, I quickly adapted and clarified roles and expectations to help the team stay on track. I contributed directly to loyalty program benchmarking and helped synthesize global research into strategic recommendations. This experience significantly sharpened my project management, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills—and laid the foundation for my advancement into future client-facing roles.
