About Cory Funk

After 45 years in the print marketing field, my expertise spanned the realms of premedia, commercial print, catalog-magazine-direct mail production, data analytics, sales and customer service. Throughout my production and sales career, I successfully delivered comprehensive solutions that addressed the complete lifecycle of commercial print and direct marketing materials, ensuring each project aligned with the client\'s strategic vision, budget, and executional needs.As the SAP Business Network (Ariba) Administrator, I contributed to reshaping the online procurement landscape; fostering strong buyer-seller relationships, purchasing, and streamlining accounting processes. With the help of dedicated teams, we cultivated a network where training, discovery, and collaboration thrive, resulting in a more efficient sourcing of new partnerships. The commitment to integrating technology with customer-centric service has been the cornerstone of my success in this dynamic industry. However, after decades servicing the retail vertical, I have become part of it as the Guest Services / E-Commerce / Pricing Manager of the newest Festival Foods in Hudson, Wisconsin.
