Anna is an incredibly talented, passionate, hardworking and caring individual. Anna and I worked closely together on Apparel at YETI and she was instrumental in ensuring the entire line was on track from a sourcing and operations perspective. She also was key in moving us forward by bringing to the table more sustainable product initiatives and options to incorporate into the line. She is a huge asset to the team, a pleasure to work with and a remarkable human who truly cares about making the world a better place.
