Initiative / Flexibility
My previous work experience at a software development company started out as entry level yet quickly grew to include client consultation, creative direction and project management.

As a small business owner, I was, often on a daily basis, facilitator, negotiator, communicator, decision-maker, leader, team player, time manager, marketer and project manager.

My current experience at a Canada-wide electronics retailer began as Marketing Manager in 2004, but within 3 years, was promoted to VP Branding & Image.

Presently responsible for developing and maintaining franchise Partner relations, the research and development of new lifestyle marketing and merchandising tools, team building and management, budget planning and execution, project management, vendor negotiations and the development and coordination of corporate marketing strategy.

Time Management
Project management as part of a collaborative team that worked on multiple projects with overlapping time lines.

High pressure deadlines were common, and management of these situations were key to ensuring that creativity was not stifled and details were not overlooked.

Communication
Creative direction duties involved regular communication within and across groups. This meant one-to-one, cross team, project team and company wide communication of creative and marketing strategies.
