Accomplishments

Loungelfy offered me a Sales Manager position to improve accounts that were under performing. They choose me because I know the brand and am a customer first. One of my accounts was Canada, in 2023 they made $300k in sales. During the 9 months I was there, I brought it up to $1.2 million. I also align Universal Studios with creative team to build and discuss quarterly collaborations. I was able to clean up many accounts and deliver all products on time. I intergraded PIX system to all of Loungefly sales.
