Bio
Catherine Estella-Blackstock
Kira is a bright-minded, creative individual that I have had the fortunate pleasure to work with at Giant Eagle. She’s a quick and eager learner, never afraid to ask the right questions to improve business operations and profitability. With complex problem-solving skills, she’s managed an array of dynamic personalization projects using liquid logic and never missed a deadline with some of our highly notable tasks like the weekly sale newsletter. She even spearheaded the first loyalty program emails during its newest transition and has worked alongside our CRM team and designers to find more efficient ways to collaborate and execute more easily. Her positive spirit and can-do attitude has made her a great collaborator on the team, training others when needed and picking up extra work to help with quick turnarounds. She is a hard-working developer with further expertise on design, making her a versatile candidate among hires. I have no doubt she’ll excel in everything she does and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for her.
