Building upon my career span of 22+ years and extensive experience in hospitality, business development, merchandising, sourcing, and executing creative solution based sales, I am enthused most when given the opportunity to exhibit my skills and abilities to contribute to enhance the sales for my suppliers. During a career with Julie Francis Associates spanning more than two years, I am credited for exceeding sales targets of product lines. I enjoy working with creative people and the design process. I have rich knowledge and key relationships in the architectural and interior design. I understand my industry, my customers and my suppliers very well and know how to help identify/create the need for the customer to sell the product effectively.
