Onboarding plan: Aisha Bello, Support Operations Lead
Manager: Tomás Ferreira · Start date: 3 November 2026
Welcome
Welcome to Northwind Support, Aisha! By the end of 90 days we hope you own our support tooling and reporting end to end, and that the weekly support review runs on numbers you trust. This plan covers what to set up, who to meet, and what "ramped up" looks like at each milestone.
