Following success in my prior role, I was appointed to lead a high-profile initiative to grow the mid-market business through the addition of services in the online membership program for Staples Business Advantage Premium customers. I am accountable for creating the strategy and roadmap, identifying partners, negotiating deals, leading co-marketing, and managing partner relations. I also serve as the single point of contact for 500+ field sales team members with regards to all partner issues.The new initiative has been extremely successful and I have grown the membership services category by over 400% in just the first year by negotiating, launching and expanding lucrative strategic partnerships. I also led the redesign of the membership services web page and accelerated partner on-boarding by creating a process manual and training materials for all new partners.The program has been such a success that I am now working with other Staples business units including Staples Canada and Quill to plan the launch of a similar service.

I was promoted into this role and charged with leading the integration of a newly acquired $75M custom print digital platform business (PNI Media). I managed a geographically-diverse, 40+ member cross-functional team to migrate all custom print products to the new software platform in both the US and Canada and manage the launch. This was a complex e-Commerce and Omni-Channel integration and I had to steer the teams through cultural differences, but we met the tight deadline and cut 3rd party costs 30% as a result. My team then played a key role in generating $40M+ in annual sales by designing, developing and launching a brand new website offering custom print products (design.staples.com) and launching a copy and print app for mobile devices.I also assisted with the integration of a second acquisition, a multimillion-dollar app developer (MAKR.co), and received 2 prestigious internal awards for my contributions to the business during this period.
