Bio
Kyle Williams
Jonina and I started at Interior Define on the same day and she was the planner for my categories/division. Within the first few weeks, Jonina had observed the business and had identified ways to improve process for not only her, but her cross-functional teams to work more efficiently. Jonina always came to the table with recommendations that were grounded in data and logic. It was a pleasure to work with Jonina and see her take on every new challenge presented to her- whether it was taking on new categories of ownership or building new tools for her merchant partners. She is an incredible thought partner and strategic collaborator and will make an tremendous impact on future organizations.

Jonina worked for me at Knackshops.com as we grew revenue 5x in one year. She handled this rapid growth and all of the challenges and demands that entailed, extremely well. Jonina's superpower is her ability to develop strong working relationships with everyone she came in contact with. She was able to maneuver through multiple challenges because of this skill to solve problems and improve performance. Jonina is a seasoned Retail Professional that excels in analyzing the business and developing strategies to drive business results. She is especially good at leveraging data from multiple sources, building inventory and forecasting tools that have increased productivity, accuracy and effectiveness. She is a gifted trainer and develops processes that can be leveraged by all team members to grow their skills and improve collective productivity of the group. I would welcome working with Jonina again in any capacity. Any company would be lucky to have her on their team.
