Kim Oshman – Customer Support Specialist

Kim’s outstanding customer service has been widely recognized ever since she began her career at her family’s antique auction business, Gallery on the Hill. In addition to developing a love for all things with age and character, Kim excelled as the primary client point of contact. She simultaneously managed 10 employees and created an online catalog for the business so that customers so see and purchase their wares on-line. After the family business wound down, Kim decided to transition to working for a major telecommunications company. It was there that she learned to coach new hires, and developed a program to enhance the company’s ability to hire disabled workers. Kim was chosen as one of only two customer service professionals to demonstrate customer service best practices to visiting state and other officials.

Immediately prior to joining Pillar To Post, Kim lead an elite customer service team who planned exotic travel and learning experiences for baby boomers. Kim loves our customers, takes great pride in serving them well, and we and our customers are thrilled to be working with her.
