About Jorge Alvarado
Over my career, I have been honed in on understanding people, challenges, and the solutions that make a difference. I am committed to learning the intricacies of the team and the environment they operate in. My approach is to learn the situation that people may be struggling with and allow them to walk me through their thought process and provide guidance as needed. My background has been leading underperforming stores and building strategies to help the team and the store win. I am currently a Store Director in a large box company and lead a team of 5 exempt leaders, 17 hourly team leaders and 300+ team members. I lead the highest volume store in the District and one of the most complex in my group. I pride myself on having an engaged and happy team that can help deliver on sales and company key performance metrics. I am also dedicated to having amazing looking stores that are easy and friendly to shop. In my retail career, I have taken pride in having strong business acumen and understanding the business needs.
