About Michael Caruso
QUALIFICATIONSI have 40 years of retail experience through stores management, manufacturing, Catagory Management and merchandising. I was able to learn the systems needed to perform the job at a high standard. My store experience has given me a unique ability to communicate with the stores, category managers and plants. I am able to give the plants a perspective from store level that other account managers are not able to provide. I was a Food Manager for Fred Meyer for the 9 years in 2 regions and several market areas. The time spent in Utah gave me valuable training skills by training many new employees in all aspects of management. I am able to provide training to store managers on the importance of Corporate Brands that they will feel is of a value to them.Specialties: advertising, budgeting, macromedia director, negotiation, sales, training,
