Sr. Account Executive @ My journey began with Summit Group (formerly Summit Marketing) in 1993 where I immediately became focused on generating branded merchandise that would drive sales for my clients. As time progressed and my client base grew, I only became more successful in serving my clients by learning more about the industry and the needs of my consumers. Providing creative branded merchandise to my clients, sophisticated online e-commerce site/stores and producing inventive direct mailings, amongst other competencies, is what keeps my clients and the consumers that they serve satisfied.
My creative use of products, extensive industry knowledge and ability to present the most current products to my clients sets both my consumers and me apart from the competition.
