ABOUT HEATHER TREMAINE

I believe in customer success, collaboration, calculated risk taking, and sound leadership. Throughout my career I\'ve balanced perseverance with patience, confidence with humility, and fear with trust. I\'d like to consider myself a \"learn-it-all\" and keep the growth mindset that I have established over the years.My biggest professional successes have been:• Leading a team to over 30% increase in top line revenue in the business’ largest key program, by focused and targeted development based on the customer’s needs. The icing on the proverbial cake was the fact that we did it with fewer resources and fewer SKUS which resulted in larger bottom line growth as well.• Disrupting a major gift wrap program to increase retail sales by 7% in just over 6 months.• Generating year-over-year growth in a promotional workwear jacket program, resulting in over 250% growth in 5 years.My biggest personal successes have been:• Raising a beautiful daughter on my own with a village of amazing support.• Being able to help take care of my parents as they get older.• Giving back by supporting organizations such as Bra Couture, and my local church as a wedding coordinator.• Traveling the world. I have been to 10 different countries; China and India several times, and plan on visiting many more. • Shooting under 100 on the golf course (refer to “average golf” in headline).While there have been some failures, I would always consider them as failing forward. With each one I have learned about myself, my strengths, and my limitations. I have tried hard to not make the same mistakes twice.Some additional highlights include, but aren\'t limited to:• Implemented strategies and collaborated with sales leadership to maintain three separate multi- million-dollar gift wrap businesses with Hallmark\'s existing national account base. Resulted in positive double-digit growth for the Christmas season.• Collaborated with cross functional partners and leadership to lead strategy to leverage domestic and foreign production to optimize gross margin and production efficiencies, resulting in over 1 million dollars in savings for Hallmark and IMU improvement for several retailers.• Led and collaborated with cross functional teams to establish a CRM tool to help us manage and grow sales with independent retailers.
