ABOUT STEFANIE CASTIGLIONE

My passion and goal has always been to understand my customer\'s business and their customers as well as they do and to bring solutions that are mutually beneficial. My research, analysis, time in the field, asking questions and active listening has defined the partnerships I have built in my career and the growth that we have achieved as retail or strategic partners. My career path has given me the opportunity to sit on both sides of the negotiation table both as a buyer and a vendor allowing me the empathy and perspective to build trust. My marketing and innovation background has helped me conceive and execute many specific customer products and programs. I love a challenge to build something from the ground up and often raise my hand for those opportunities. I have an entrepreneurial management style that challenges the status quo but also seeks and appreciates expert advice. Recognized for my tenacity and the delicate authentic balance of winning over a customer with facts, arguments, and creativity. I excel best in a collaborative team environment. I am a lifetime learner and love to absorb from my colleagues, managers, clients, and mentors. In the last few years, I have led many cross-functional teams either on day-to-day business or large projects. I have been appreciated by my team for being organized, transparent, providing vision and context but also defining responsibility and accountability. The wins we have had as a team have been the most fulfilling milestones in my career and I ensured that we took the time to celebrate them.
