Bio
Kaci Riggs
I had the pleasure of working with Gena at Hatco for several years and I have never met a person who paid more attention to detail. She was a prompt person with a positive attitude and endless energy; she was truly passionate and driven. With one position, she did the work of at least three people and did it EFFECTIVELY. Gena is an organized person who is wired for success. She's a "whatever it takes" type of worker whom I was proud to be on a team with.
Patti Neitsch
I had the pleasure of working with Gena at Lucchese where she was a Key Account Executive. Gena has an incredible sense of balance between product, customer service and business analytics. She demonstrates a superior understanding of product design and fashion, always willing to assist the team in new development and trend analysis. She displays an exceptional level of customer service with great attention to detail. Gena works diligently to develop trusted business relationships. She has gone to great lengths to develop sales tracking reports to ensure her guidance is based on measureable fact. She continues to seek new opportunities to learn and is always willing to pass along her knowledge to those around her. She knows how to ‘get it done’ and she is the first to ‘lend a hand’. Gena is first class, all the way! She will be an incredible asset to any company.
