How long you have been with ECCO…

11 years.

 

An interesting fact about my job…

e-Commerce is far more demanding than many would realize. With the businesses “ON” 24-7 we are constantly challenged with a myriad of tasks and activities to maintain our position online from a marketing and product perspective to sell-in and sell-through activities.

 

My favorite time of the day is…

Anytime I get to talk to a live person, e-Commerce can get dull at times and working from home there’s no watercooler chat group to take a break with. Phone calls are typically a highlight.

 

My favorite place in the world is

The mountains, doesn’t matter which ones, I just love the sound and smells of the forests, the spectacular views and the peacefulness they bring.

 

What inspires me is…

Effort…I’m constantly in awe of how much time and energy people can put into things, whether it’s work related or a hobby, and generate an amazing skill, result or beautiful art of some kind.

 

The great thing about shoes…

Nearly everyone needs them, even my dog wears shoes sometimes.

 

My greatest achievement is…

I have pretty amazing kids, two in College and a third in high school. They are far smarter than I was at their ages.

 

When you first become part of the ECCO family you…

Start as an individual but become a part of a large family with a common interest to make and sell the best shoes in the world. That’s not lip service, you can’t do this job without the family that is ECCO; from Product, Demand Planning, Business Intelligence, Customer Service and the Warehouse, countless hands are all part of the process and the greater family within ECCO.

 

The thing I love most about my job is…

It’s the future of retail. While I’ve always believed e-Commerce was important; the recent COVID-19 situation really cemented it’s importance in the world. It’s one of the few things people have been able to count on at any time for whatever there needs are. If a retailer doesn’t have an Omni-channel strategy it’s going to miss out and struggle going forward.

 

What excites me most about my job is

New product! I love to see what our team in DK has come up with.

 

My passion is…

Anything that can get me outside; I love the outdoors whether its skiing, hiking, mountain biking or taking a drive into the mountains for the day…count me in!
