Back in 2006 I decided to leave my full-time sales position with a start-up company as their National Account Manager handling all sales to mass retailers within Eastern US and Canada. My son was two years old at the time and I decided it was his turn to have his mother full-time. I enjoyed being home and spending it with my son but felt a strong urge to keep my selling skills fresh. I started a part-time business becoming a Manufacturers Rep/Broker representing quality products from locally based companies and women owned businesses. I truly enjoy helping others and this lead me to my newest venture with Retail Mama.com.
I have over 17 years retail sales and marketing experience selling to mass retailers including warehouse clubs, drug and grocery stores and speciality retailers. I have worked for some well-known consumer goods companies i.e. LEGO Systems®, A.T. Cross® Comapany, Wrights® and Transparent Language®. During my tenure with these companies I was part of the team or newly created divisions to bring branded and non-branded products to retail with great success.
My favorite quote is: "there are those that watch what happen, there are those that wonder what happen and there are those that make it happen". — Thomas G. Stemberg (Founder of Staples, Inc.)
I am from New England and enjoy the seasons. I have traveled extensively across the states and enjoy calling Massachusetts my home.
Warmest regards,
