How I can help
My professional background
It has been a blessing to have worked in a variety of businesses including retail, wholesale, and manufacturing. I started up a wholesale fashion business for eight years selling to over 300 US/Mexico/Canada stores and importing from Pakistan, China, and Thailand. I purchased a retail leather goods business for eight years in a tourist town with a strong online presence. I worked for 25 years in Fortune 100 food/beverage companies at the corporate and startup levels in high volume and FDA regulated/audited environments (Miller Brewing Company, ConAgra, Whole Foods) with an eye towards lean continuous improvement and cost savings (nearly $200MM of savings realized).
I’m passionate about solving problems for the long term and am especially proficient in delighting internal and external customers, creating a positive and constructive work atmosphere as well as being a mentor and change leader capable of working innovatively and collaboratively with all employee experience levels.
