Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), announced earlier this month that Tom Ogier, Director of Client Engagement and Solutions, has been named a Silver Award winner for Customer Service Executive of the Year in the 2020 Best in Biz Awards.
Ogier began directing the Customer Service team at CCC 11 years ago. Since then, his group has expanded into six new countries. In addition, Ogier helped launch alternative customer support channels such as live chat and the CCC Knowledge Center and co-led the development of a sophisticated analytics suite to enable data-driven decisions to improve capacity and address customer needs. Ogier also skillfully managed his team’s transition to work-from-home to ensure continuity of service during the pandemic. By thoughtfully investing in innovative technology and scalable solutions, he’s streamlined processes to improve and simplify the CCC customer experience.
