About Gwen Dillingham

Throughout 15 years of professional experience in manufacturing and distribution I’ve held a variety of positions that include Quality Assurance, Customer Service, Product Management, and Category Management in Sourcing. I’m highly motivated by opportunities that use my creative problem solving skills to address challenges that others may find intimidating. My greatest satisfaction comes from accomplishing tasks that ultimately help customers be successful while contributing to the bottom line of the company for which I work. Although I’m self motivated, I enjoy collaborating with teams that recognize and build on the many talents brought together by multiple people to accomplish a common goal. My drive for continuously expanding my skill set along with my strong work ethic is recognized and appreciated by peers and superiors alike, and has allowed for my steady advancement and progressively accepting greater responsibilities.
