Early in my career, I was mentored by an amazing individual who helped me gain exposure and experience which allowed me to see the big picture and understand all up/down stream opportunities, challenges, consequences, etc. This was invaluable and ultimately helped me achieve success.►6 WAYS I TRANSFORM ORGANIZATIONS1.

It is my responsibility to gain alignment for the ongoing Sales & Operations Plan across Sales, Marketing/Product Line Management, Finance and counterparts in Supply Chain. I love the constant change as each month brings its own set of challenges and opportunities!►APPROACH TO LEADERSHIPTo me leadership means curiosity, accountability, transparency and respect for all people. My goal is to make my team feel empowered so they are comfortable in making decisions and knowing that if the outcome is not one of a desired state, I will still support them and the effort. This in turn allows them to be curious and take risks.►IN MY SPARE TIMEI love dabbling in all things craft and DIY. Making my own wall plaques, scrapbooking, working with furniture to revitalize, restore, update (paint and refinishing). I am self taught and love to create fondant covered tiered cakes for birthdays and major family gatherings.►CONTACT ME I can be reached at dawn@cookfamilyofaz.com
