I counsel employees on learning and development opportunities to meet their personal goals. My goal is to build a learning culture, which means helping leaders to prioritize employee development in both word and action. My team and I support employees in the marketing and sales functions as well as third-party distributors and alliances throughout the Americas.

Show less Skills developed: influence without authority; negotiation; field marketing executionAs territory manager, it was my job to grow sales of motor oils and greases through eight multi-branded distributorships. Influence without authority was critical in this role as getting buy-in from distributors that my brand was the best to sell was critical. In this role, I cold-called, leveraged lead generation databases, and expanded/upgraded business with existing accounts. I developed annual plans to identify key sectors and geographies and created marketing programs to support that growth. I also trained distributor reps and B2B customers on the brand, product, and applications for them to better upsell their customers. My territory’s annual sales revenue totaled $13.6 million- Grew distributor focus on Mobil-branded products with sector-specific programs, customized marketing support and relationships built on transparency (8% volume increase year over year).- Improved unit gross margin (13% year over year) with strategic growth: assessed market to identify prospects, developed sales strategy and marketing plan, and managed execution by distributor sales representatives.- Increased premium product sales (7% year over year) with focus on education to drive retention and trust.

This included managing agencies (creative, media, social, and public relations) and motorsports marketing (working with NASCAR, Stewart-Haas Racing, digital media partners). In this role, I quickly learned how to navigate a global organization and to lead third-party agencies. Owning the relationship with digital partners and agencies, I wrote and delivered briefs (annual planning and creative), implemented plans, and monitored progress against KPIs. Often I used courage of conviction and internal selling to show the organization the benefits of doing things differently and trying something new.- Developed and implemented digital and social strategy, increased engagement by 280% and doubled fan base. - Led inter-agency team in production of video content with Mobil 1 sponsored NASCAR driver Tony Stewart: earned $1.41 million media equivalent and 1.1 million reach per Facebook post.- Partnered with NASCAR to create relevant digital content and improved paid pre-roll completion rate by 20%.- Restructured search strategy to increase click through rates by 9% and decrease cost per click by 14%.- Collaborated with media partners on mobile solutions to improve mobile click through rate by 570%.
