THE ROLE

The Associate Vice President, Regional Head of Client Experience – Asia is a senior leader accountable for building client experience into a clear and durable competitive advantage for the business. This role owns how clients are supported, engaged, and retained across the full lifecycle—from initial interaction through post‑sale support—across contact centers, in‑person touchpoints, and digital channels.

With a strong background in contact center operations, hospitality‑driven service models, and digital journey optimization, this leader translates elevated client expectations into scalable, high‑performing service delivery. The AVP drives measurable improvements in responsiveness, issue resolution, client satisfaction, and journey simplicity, ensuring experiences are seamless, intuitive, and aligned with brand standards.

This position leads through influence as much as authority, partnering cross‑functionally to simplify processes, reduce client hand‑offs, and embed consistent service standards across the organization. A core focus of the role is developing strong managers who can effectively lead both operations and people—building a leadership bench capable of sustaining service excellence, continuous improvement, and growth.
