ABOUT LAUREN FERNANDEZ-SKORUP
From my early days as a young soccer newbie, navigating the field with the grace of a baby giraffe and eating orange slices at half time, to my college years as a full-fledged student athlete playing under stadium lights, I had always been a part of a team. Growing up the teams were constantly changing, either because I changed teams or because someone else joined ours, so there was always an influx of new people to meet. I had the opportunity to meet so many people that soon it became nearly impossible to play against another team in St. Louis that I didn’t know a single person from the opposing team. Now soccer absolutely taught me resilience, persistence, importance of strategy and to always strive for excellence, but more than anything it taught me the importance of building trusting relationships and to work cohesively as a team. These 2 key lessons originated with our team’s values, understanding that our success was driven by and dependent on the team working as one unit, and not by individuals. Now after 15+ years of competitive soccer, some tendencies and habits died hard but some apparently never went (and will never go) away, including my enjoyment of meeting new people, building new relationships, and collaborating with/ being a part of a team. Fast forward to today, I have not run a 6 minute mile in years and it’s a modern miracle that I still have both working knees, but I have chosen to pursue a career in sales and account management that allows me to focus on doing what I enjoy and do best- focusing on my client, fostering relationships and working as a part of a team to reach our goals of increasing profitable growth and market share. My logical approach, analytical mindset, and ability to anticipate and articulate customer needs helps to accelerate solutions, reduce rework, and make well informed quick action-oriented decisions. I adapt to complex challenges effectively by understanding change and the levers available to fix problems, gaining consensus from stakeholders and coordinating cross-functional partnerships.Areas of Expertise: • Account Management• Customer Relationship Management• Relationship Cultivator • Business Development• Team Leadership • Team Player• Sales Strategy• Cross- Functional Team Leadership• Business Process Improvement• Problem Solving • Strategic Planning• Risk Mitigation • Budgeting• Attention to Detail• Mentor Fostering Growth• Personable & Dependable
