Bio
Laura Fowler CSM LSSGB
Jeanette has always been resourceful, experienced and knowledgeable in product sourcing and the complete process but it wasn't until I reported to her directly that I learned of her true dedication and value. Her import background, negotiation skills, expertise across multiple product lines and analytical skills play out so naturally and she is a supportive, interactive lead. I know she will always be an asset to any team or business she works with and will drive results!
