I managed and worked closely with Jennifer during her time at DELSEY. Jennifer was responsible for developing and managing the product mix for the US market, working with nearly every department in the organization as well as our overseas teams. She successfully launched many new products and played a key role in growing our distribution through existing and new channels. Jennifer is energetic, creative, diligent, trustworthy and eager to learn. She is effective in working collaboratively but also a confident self-starter and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. I greatly enjoyed working with Jennifer and found her to be not only an extremely competent professional and skilled marketer but also an amazing person to have on your team. I cannot recommend her enough!
