Bio
Scott Lavie
My Role: Investor & Board of Directors - Andronico's Community Markets John's Role: Store Director - ACM John demonstrated great store and people leadership/management skills throughout our 6 year indirect working relationship. John led his store/business through a distressed operational time to become a high performing store (sales comps and profitability), he managed through a complete store remodel project, a complete store remerchandising and upgrade, a shifting go-to market strategy employing digital shopping and delivery, and shifting consumer trends. John did all of this extremely well, and he always had a positive outlook and a willingness to solve the issue or tackle a new project. John also is never too busy to stop and help a customer, so despite being an active manager, he's not lost touch with the core of the business. A gentleman, a scholar and a pleasure to work with!
