Bio
Chris Marshall
I have had the privilege of working for Matt in both product management and merchandising management capacities, and can personally attest to his leadership/coaching skills, business acumen, and results-oriented focus. He is a skilled leader who knows how to unify a team in pursuit of a common business objective, and maximize performance by adapting his management style to the individual needs of his players. In addition, he fosters personal development by not only teaching fundamentals, but allowing his direct reports the space to execute those practices and develop at a faster rate into high performance leaders. For example, one of my first projects in Kids was securing a special make-up program with a key account on what would be our division's largest program that season. Being relatively new to my role, Matt outlined the steps I needed to implement to ensure we secured this business, and trusted my ability to successfully manage the design, development and delivery of the program. While keeping an eye on the process and its execution, Matt empowered me to develop at a faster pace by assigning myself to this high-profile project. While this is one of several examples of Matt's leadership and coaching ability, it would be remiss not to mention his ability to deliver constructive feedback. It is communicated in a way that builds upon areas of improvement, and is delivered with a tact that encourages you to seek out the next challenge. In summary, Matt is a proven leader who simply put, will get the job done.
