Terry Compton
Theresa is a results oriented, highly motivated business professional. Her expertise and commitment to excellence in every aspect of direct importing of womens apparel was a key factor in giving the customer higher quality products and improving the product margins. Through Theresa's focus on business details, affective communication and team building skills, she is well respected by all levels of company management as well as with her coworkers. Her leadership, understanding of business objectives and operations, high proficiency in computer knowledge/skills and training talent made her an invaluable company asset during a long and complex company wide systems conversion.
