ABOUT ANDREW DIREZZE

Thank you for stopping by my profile! I am a strategic, creative multi-unit leader who inspires teams while delivering high-impact operations and financial expertise. Solutions-driven, I have the ability to coach staff as they discover their own talents, maximize productivity, work as a cohesive unit, and ultimately drive revenue. I am adept at implementing strategies that cultivate accountable, winning teams that produce results and garner long-term customer loyalty.My ability to lead and inspire teams both large and small is the product of 20+ years of experience in diverse, fast-paced, and highly competitive environments. I began my career with Gap as an Associate Manager and held various positions through the company\'s continuous growth and transition. I was recognized for my abilities by being promoted into GM roles that were greater in responsibility and scope in various markets (the Greater New York/New Jersey area, South Carolina). I quickly adapted and was recognized as a key leader in driving results, best practice standards, and developing internal talent. This allowed me to grow my career as a District Manager for Banana Republic Factory. I quickly gained a reputation for achieving customer loyalty results and service initiatives, as well as driving comp sales and metrics in my stores. These abilities enabled me to be successful District Manager in the Philadelphia and NYC markets and afforded me the opportunity to transition into the Carolinas market at Banana Republic Factory.
