Sandy grew up in retail and has spent her entire career building retail and online businesses from the ground up.
She joined Reel.com on day one and was involved with virtually every detail of the business: hiring the entire staff, negotiating leases, purchasing insurance and everything in between. Once the physical store was up-and-running, she turned her sights to the web and e-commerce side of the business, hiring almost 100 movie reviewers to create original content, and then managing the website until the company was purchased by Hollywood Video.
Her experience at HungryMinds.com was similar in its broad, yet detail-oriented, scope. Her ability to figure out what needs to be done and how to do it efficiently, cost-effectively, and cheerfully was what enabled the business to grow until it was purchased by IDG Books.
Her tenure at Elephant also started long before the doors opened. In fact, Sandy was the one who picked out the doors ... and employees, and products, and everything else related to starting the brand new pharmacy concept. Her past experience helped get the store designed and opened in record time and with great success from the get-go.
Sandy continues to make store operations look easy, and she thrives on meeting the challenges that come with opening stores in new communities--and with keeping current stores running like well-oiled machines. Her goal is to make the store experience spectacular for everyone--customers and employees alike.
When not overseeing the installation of a bamboo floor in an Elephant store, Sandy enjoys playing with her two Bernese Mountain Dogs and making an amazing ginger cake. |
