I had the pleasure of working with Shaun at Valassis. I was impressed at the logistics knowledge he provided which was very detailed and had great follow up. Shaun is a great asset to any company as he will bring a wealth of experience, initiative and problem solving. His ability to build relationships, collaborate and lead others are skills that are needed in any company. Shaun will immediately make a difference because he cares about people and will build a winning team.
