Juan is one of those people that you just instantly love. He is so passionate in everything that he does. The way he conducts himself - to the way he works with his peers and support team members is truly fantastic. I have watched Juan grow over the years into the incredible person he is is today. When we were together at LACOSTE I used to get so excited to travel stores with Juan on the west coast to see his work and see his relationships with the retail teams. Everyone spoke very highly of him and I could see the amazing partnerships that he had cultivated over the years. The stores always looked great too. I also used to have Juan come into the corporate offices each season to help with merchandising guidelines, and special projects that were implemented throughout North America. I would highly recommend Juan and would be delighted to work with him again. Juan is one of those team members that you can always depend on and he is going to get the job done no matter what it takes. He is a very special person to me not only as us working together, but like family. He is one of a kind and I wish him all the best on his next chapter and can't wait to see where he lands. He is very talented and loves what he does and again, is always committed to everything that he does.

Juan was a direct report of mine at Lacoste. Juan started his career at Lacoste on the sales team at our Madison Ave. boutique. Juan always showed interest in visual merchandising and was often appointed the visual trainer in the store. As Lacoste was growing as a brand in the U.S. the visual team was also expanding. An opening for the Northeast Regional Visual Manager opened and Juan applied. Juan did not have a visual background, but Juan demonstrated will and ability and these are two characteristics that are valuable in any hire. Juan was able to quickly grasp the vastness of change and growth and became a great teacher to his stores and a great support to his region and teammates. Juan can think quickly on his feet, provide sound solutions, coach/train and hold stores accountable on standards of excellence. Juan made good calls when in need of substitutions and often would create solutions to challenges within his territory. Juan is a true brand ambassador. He is positive, patient, open, respectful and always has a smile and builds wonderful relationships with both the internal and external customer. Juan would be a great asset to any team and offers any company not only expertise in Visual Merchandising, but also in building relationships and problem solving.
