• Communications Director

  • Nov 2019 - Mar 2020

  My time with the Club Leaders Forum was a pinnacle experience in predicting and exceeding the needs and expectations of a highly discerning client base. I partnered daily with General Managers to convey the value of Platinum Club licensing and distinction while sharing marketing techniques to enhance private golf, yacht, city, and athletic club engagement. Most notably, I began writing customer-driven articles (15 in a one month period!) that demonstrably enhanced the private sector club industry reputation and value perceptions. I attribute this success to my understanding of high-end, upscale client expectations and extensive customer service experience. I reported to the Executive Director. Show less

REVOLUTION EYEWEAR, INC.

• Director of Accounts and Marketing

  • Apr 2003 - Jan 2016

  Over the course of my 13 years with RE I was a key player in the global growth of the brand, having secured licensing with brands including Disney, The Beatles, Affliction, True Religion, Ed Hardy, and Christian Audigier. I played an integral part in RE’s achievement of industry recognition as the leader in “Bling Eyewear,” having coined the phrase “Bling Lunettes” after partnering with Swarovski to embed crystals in eyewear temples. Relatedly, I brought even more distinction to the brand through my oversight of all advertising and print marketing activities, earning accolades including “Most Believable Ad” and “Best Design” from 20/20 Eyewear magazine. I enjoyed the opportunity to work collaboratively with five business partners, securing celebrity bookings for special gala events while designing and producing annual product catalogs, merchandise displays, and point-of-purchase marketing materials. I retained sole accountability for coordinating trade shows, managing 150 key accounts, maintaining sales levels within 50 corporate accounts, and managing sponsorships for the American Music Awards Gift Lounge. Lastly, I can proudly say that I stayed within the allocated budget for developing the online sales division and company website. I pointedly drew increased attention to the importance of the client relationship and client experience, generating a significant improvement to sales within six months of taking over as the key contact for all sales.

Toki Eyewear

• Operations Manager

  • Jan 2001 - Apr 2003

  I enjoy supporting organizational growth and this small yet mighty distributor offered a great culture for demonstrating these skills. Reporting directly to the CEO, I led the charge for a small but exceptionally diligent team of four in managing operations, customer service, accounts payable/receivable teams, and all tenant improvements and office setups. Together we conceptualized and launched a novel in-house lab experience that grew sales beyond expectations and, even more excitingly, facilitated a new U.S. product line created by the parent company in Japan, having coordinated all of the details necessary to set up a US based distributor headquarters for the international company.
