About Steve Brosnan

Throughout my career I have been expanding my knowledge of all aspects of managing staff, processes, and procedures for major department stores that produce up to $1B in annual revenue. I have established myself as a dedicated manager, capable of overseeing operations in multiple locations throughout a geographic region and have trained and led diverse teams to deliver efficient operations and quality services. A well trained and motivated team is essential to the success of any large organization, and I have developed the ability to communicate with individuals clearly and effectively in order to achieve the goals set out before me. I lead, train, and mentor my staff, and have excelled at identifying internal candidates with the potential for leadership roles and provide coaching and mentorship to promote their professional development.I am always looking to make new connections and develop new skills. If you would like to know more about my experience or approach, please connect with me here on LinkedIn.
