Today’s interview is with the winner of the MyCustomer 2022 CX Leader of the Year competition: Maneesha Bhusal, Director Customer Experience & Marketplace Operations at Jingdong Indonesia ( JD.ID), which is a subsidy of Jingdong (JD.com), one of the largest retailers in China.

This interview is slightly different this week as I conduct it with Clare Muscutt, Founder and CEO of Women in CX but follows the same format to the one last year where we interviewed Sri Safitri of Telkom Indonesia the winner of the 2021 CX Leader of the Year.

In the interview we discuss Maneesha’s journey to where she is now, why she applied for the CX Leader of the Year competition, how she felt when she won and the biggest lessons that she has learned along the way.

This interview follows on from my recent interview – Customer success and the role of community – Interview with Elaine Richards of 37signals – and is number 451 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders that are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
