I’m grateful to share that I’ve accepted a new role as Manager District Sales - Large Store with
Coca-Cola Consolidated
Stick with me on this long post of gratitude!
This next chapter is exciting for my family and I, and I’m thankful for everyone who has encouraged and supported me throughout this transition.
Thank you to
Jennifer G. for our conversations and your ability to understand my past, the areas I can succeed in and where to focus. Our first conversation I said, "I don't want anything to do with sales...". I think you took that as a challenge and completely flipped my view and the impact I could have in this role.
Thank you to
Eric Weisinger for your insights into transition, retirement and working with such a storied company. Your inputs helped me to put things into real perspective.
Thank you to Matthew Kaplan. Our first conversation had me rattled and I felt like I was rambling incoherently, and then you surprised me with "I'd think you'd be a great fit for this role and I'd like to get you in for an interview." Those words resonate with me daily and I'm thankful for your time, effort and support.
Thank you to
Shawn Hinson and
Phil Modlin. You gave me an opportunity to sit and have a conversation with you. You both inspired me with your years of dedication within the company, your communities and the impact you have made.
He's not on this platform, but Carl Bryant is the catalyst that got this whole search started. What started as a casual conversation about life 6 months ago, led me down a path I won’t ever forget.
Which leads me to my deepest gratitude: to God for His provision, His grace, His clarity, and His faithfulness. There is no doubt in my mind that His hand is in this.
I’m honored to join Coca-Cola Consolidated and look forward to learning from a great team, contributing where I can, and embracing the road ahead.
The uniform may change, but the mission to lead well and serve others continues!
