Hello LinkedIn Community!I'm delighted to put myself out there again and as they say “begin to catch more flies with honey!” During my 10 years of experience in areas of marketing, performance and development, I've had the privilege of working with large portfolios of national retail franchise brands, including renowned names like Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Yum! Brands and Dunkin’ Donuts, to name a few. My journey in marketing has been an exhilarating one, and I take pride in having generated strategic marketing campaigns for industry leaders in food & beverage, across multiple lines of business as well as big box retail.I've gained expertise in various areas, including franchise development, brand management, retail marketing, operational excellence and market trends. With a strong foundation in project management, financial acumen and negotiation skills, I excel in developing and executing comprehensive go-to-market plans, managing budgets and driving profitability. Throughout my career, I've fostered cross-functional collaboration, building robust relationships with franchisees and stakeholders, which has been instrumental in achieving successful marketing campaigns and sustainable growth. My recent role as Director of Development and Marketing at Aramark allowed me to lead aspects of sales growth, market penetration, customer retention, and value creation, honing my ability to achieve ambitious targets.Despite a slight detour in my corporate career in 2019 to focus on family, my enthusiasm for marketing never waned. I’ve stayed up to date on market trends and relationship management, and even acquired exceptional interpersonal skills. I am genuinely excited to return to a corporate career, where my strategic planning and creativity can shine!Please feel free to reach out and connect.
