ABOUT IAN MIESEN
As a Sales Director at Solaris Paper, I oversee the development and execution of sales strategies across both the retail and private label markets. I lead a 15-member broker sales team and focus on driving market expansion, managing key national accounts like Kroger and Albertsons, and cultivating strong partnerships to optimize category growth and performance for our customers. Having faced diverse challenges in Law Enforcement, I developed the ability to balance direct leadership with subtle influence, fostering collaboration and striving for solutions where everyone walks away with a sense of success.
