Info/Career History (attach bio & any reference letters):
Degree in Marketing and Sales Leadership from DePaul University. Spent 10 years at Old World Industries, the makers of PEAK Antifreeze and BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Starting as an Inside Sales Assistant and ending my tenure on the Global Sales Management Team at OWI. 3 years ago, I moved to HS Wholesale as the National Sales Manager and am now the Director of the Retail Division at HS Wholesale.
My ties to the convenience channel are strong as my father was a 7-Eleven Franchisee for 7 locations. I grew up in C-Stores and lived through the challenges they traverse. My understanding of the convivence sector started in my father's store's at Retail, then deepened as a manufacturer of products carried by C-Stores at Old World Industries and now has come full circle at HS Wholesale, a distributor of OTP products into C-Stores nationwide.
My unique background gives me the ability to understand the wants, needs and requirements to succeed in C-Stores from the perspective of Retails, Distributors and Manufacturers, respectively and all at once.
My hope is to leverage this for the betterment of all, to help grow business and prepare for a bright future for this channel.
Respectfully,
