A graduate of Purdue University, I quickly rose through various sales positions within the E.&J. Gallo Winery network. Transferring my knowledge of sales, account management and strategy to Protect-A-Bed, a privately held family business, I was able to assist in the rapid growth and eventual successful sale to private equity. Along the journey, I grew as a leader, strengthened my sales acumen, harnessed my creativity in product and marketing and became an expert in operations and international product supply. Today, I manage the global IP management and local sales of REM-Fit and advise on the Board of Directors for Protect-A-Bed Asia through our family office at Bell Family Enterprises, LLC.LeadershipPrivately Held Business KnowledgeTeam Building & LeadershipCulture WarriorStrategic Partnership & PlanningScalable Growth ManagementContract NegotiationProblem SolvingKPI Strategy ExecutionHighly proficient at working across business verticals - Customer Service, Human Resources, Marketing, Distribution, Operations & Sales.SalesKey Account ManagementAccount RetentionSales Team ManagementPerformance ManagementInternational SalesSales & Promotion PlanningCustomer Relationship MarketingCustomer Service ManagementIntimate sales and distribution experience across multiple sales channels; small independent business, regional, national and international specialty retailers, big box retailers, e-commerce, pest control distribution, hospitality distribution and government sales.MarketingProduct Design & PackagingBrand ManagementSales Collateral Content DesignCross Channel Marketing StrategyB2B Marketing & StrategyOmni-Channel MarketingMerchandise POP DesignTradeshow/Showroom DesignOperationsInternational SourcingContainer Load EfficienciesManufacturing PlanningContract NegotiationWarehousingProduct Development & SamplingInternational Sales EfficienciesSecure Sourcing
