Are you challenged to attract the best leaders? Do you struggle to develop, engage & retain your top talent? GOOD NEWS -- I am the best bud you didn't know you needed! Known for my best-in-class 'People 1st' leadership, I help operators build high performing & highly engaged teams & specialize in recruiting, training, & retention initiatives! As the Managing Partner & Chief Connection Officer at Roots & Suits Talent Management, my number one mission is growing talent! Allow me to introduce myself:🤍 I bring 20+ years of executive leadership under my belt (17+ of those in Fortune 50 telecom and 5+ in cannabis), leading large retail organizations across multiple states. I've got the goods to prove it too, ranking in the top 2% of nationwide sales KPIs and employee engagement.🤍 Since 2018, my industry roots have run deep. My first opportunity was with a large vertically integrated MSO where I scaled retail operations from 15 to 22 locations in just 16 months, boosting sales and creating a customer loyalty program. I also pioneered initiatives in data-based decision making and employee retention that were adopted throughout the company. For the past 4 years, I've been focused on talent management initiatives for leading industry operators. That means recruiting top talent, training high-performing leaders, and retaining the best teams around.🤍 When I'm not helping operators "grow" talent, you can find me hanging out with my Golden Retriever, Lou, and shredding the slopes in beautiful Colorado. Looking forward to connecting! 🤍 Jess
