About Kevin Winford

I am currently a Store Leader for Apple Inc. retail in Santa Rosa, California. I work next to an incredible team of inspiring, compassionate individuals. Previous work includes Interim Store Leader, Manager, assistant manager at Apple, a lead sales position with Apple, sports marketing internship with KP sports and a graduate assistant position while pursuing a masters degree. I am a former division-1 student athlete with 20+ years experience of working within a team. Having the opportunity to participate in athletics at a high level has provided me with valuable skills that are transferable to my professional career. I graduated from Eastern Washington University with both a Bachelors degree, BA Business Administration, MIS (c/o 13\') and a Masters degree, MBA (c/o 15\'). Colleagues describe me as a hard working, compassionate leader who truly cares for people. Steward leadership is my leadership style. I take pride in providing exceptional customer service and supporting my teammates/colleagues in their endeavors. I can accomplish work alone but I\'m at my best when I\'m collaborating with others. I have extensive hiring, administration, training & development, coaching and facilitation skills acquired through my decade of professional experience.
