Freelance Sales Manager with clients in the Natural Products, Sustainable Energy and Music industries. 1998-present
I am experienced in leading and managing teams through change in order to achieve and surpass goals. I have expertise in implementing new ideas and can effectively lead and manage strategy while remaining flexible in tactics. I have a track record of transformational leadership and delivering results. I have a strong background in business development, particularly in the organic, natural, and food/drug/mass channels, with a focus on supplement, personal care, and food brands and ingredients. My strengths include managing profits and losses, exceeding budgets, marketing, and merchandising. I have a keen understanding of emerging consumer needs, including those related to cannabinoids and hemp, plant-based, vegan, allergens, non-GMO, Fair Trade, B-Corp, and Biodynamic products, and am particularly attuned to the needs of ethnic customers. I also have knowledge of supply chain management, category management, and private label development, and am skilled at identifying and staying up-to-date on trends and innovations in the industry.
