Protel BPO exists to CREATE STRONG, LASTING, POSITIVE CONNECTIONS between companies and the people who do business with those companies.

As the CEO of Protel BPO, Kevin takes the time to get to know his staff, from the upper management to the agents. He has always had an ‘open door’ policy, cultivating an environment where any staff member is comfortable enough to knock on the door to his office, sit down and discuss anything with him. Our employees feel at ease when speaking to Kevin because he always has a smile on his face and greets the agents as he passes through the production floor. It is not common for agents to be able to share the same building with the company’s CEO, much less walk into their office. This makes him even more approachable and makes our team proud to be working with him. He is humble and always willing to offer a helping hand. His experience, determination and great people skills have enabled the company to grow and succeed in a competitive Belize BPO market.
