Kenn Sanford
In the time I have worked with Sandy, it has been a true pleasure. Being able to bounce ideas, commiserate issues and have the same drive for success has been a truly rewarding experience. Sandy is driven, engaged and quite knowledgeable in all aspects of retail operations and personnel. If you have the opportunity to tap into her skills and abilities, I strongly recommend it.
Laura Kipper
Sandy and I were peers at Target for several years. She was a skilled retail professional with amazing energy, resilience and personal integrity. She understood the business well and ran her stores with high expectations for both customer service and team member satisfaction. Sandy had a reputation for building strong teams and I would recommend her for any leadership position she was being considered for.

Successfully progressed through the ranks of the Target Corporation over 12 years. Transferred to 10 stores in 12 years to facilitate operational excellence, team training, and development in underperforming stores. Lead college recruiting and interviewing as well as business college training in my store before new managers were placed in their roles. My final store assignment with Target was a 40 million dollar store with 200+ associates. Within 90 days the team turned the store around from a Red store to a Green store and had an unannounced VP Visit that was Green on my 90th day in the store and I was off that day.
