◈ Driving sales growthKnown for my strengths in building sales, marketing, merchandising, and branding, my teams and I have achieved phenomenal sales growth for national companies. For nearly two decades, my work elevated national brand awareness, increased traffic, and exceeded targets under budget in the homebuilding industry. I am proud to say that my division was ranked #1 for revenue and sales. Balancing multiple priorities, I was key in the successful marketing, sales, fundraising, and IPO activities of a startup company that quickly became one of the top 20 homebuilders in the country. Spearheading sales and marketing plans, hiring sales agents, and opening communities, I also designed and produced model homes, sales offices, and design centers. ◈ Managing complex work streamsI am a firm believer in teamwork and finding solutions that work for everyone. As a project manager, tackling problems head on and building consensus to develop drivers of value for programs and operations have been key. By fully understanding business goals, team strengths, and areas for improvement, I have generated successes in competitive environments. ◈ Paying it forwardA wise mentor once said to me, "I'm okay with you being uncomfortable." He saw my value and trusted me to push myself to the next level in my career. I took his words to heart. Now, I strive to bring out the best in my own team members and take pride in their achievements and growth. Going above and beyond to create and maintain an iron-clad culture – where every member of the team is valued and heard – has been a cornerstone of my success. I live each day with integrity and expect the same from those I work with. To be a strong leader and mentor demands clear communication, empathy, competency, and most of all, trust. It also means that getting into the weeds and jumping in to assist is sometimes the best way to understand and create team. My mantra is, "Do the right thing for the right reason. Every time."
