In my role at Hollander Home Fashions I successfully led the sales efforts within the hospitality and healthcare markets for bedding products in the US. I was charged with a starting a new hospitality division and through my efforts this division became a leading supplier in the hospitality market. Building relationships with Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn and other national hotel chains and leading distributors enabled me to increase sales and close deals.

I successfully led the revenue growth at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Costco and Disney for product categories within the branded division. My efforts increased Sam’s Club core bedding program sales 45% by initiating new packaging and merchandising strategy to improve product presentation. In addition, I was instrumental in the overhaul of supply chain solutions for Walmart/Sam’s Club, which led to being chosen as the recipient of the 1st Annual Sustainability Vendor Award.

My responsibilities at this fast-growing records and information management company included accelerating revenue and marketing efforts. I developed and managed sales growth of the client base from 30 clients to 130 while increasing revenue by 600%. Due to my efforts I was nominated for the 2006 Charlotte Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur Award.

As Vice President of the $65 million division targeting the hospitality and healthcare markets, I developed annual business plans with P&L responsibilities, managed the sales force and reported directly to the President of Sales. I was responsible for increasing the sales of the bedding division 230% from $6 million to $20 million in 2002 after re-evaluation of the market share position and development of new partnerships with key customers. In addition, I initiated the design and development of an industry leading 44-page product catalog, which resulted in a 140% sales increase in the luxury market segment.

The sales force that I managed called on a network of national and regional textile distributors serving the hospitality and healthcare industries. I participated in the corporate long-term strategic planning which led to the implementation and execution of a strategy to sell Leshner and achieve a premium for stockholders.
