A multi-experienced and dimensional forty+ woman, Eileen
started an active business career which has spanned the last 35 years.
Her first business, a Kool-aid stand, fully capitalized with 100% R.O.I.
(cost of goods and wagon were fully financed by parents). The golfers on the 7th hole of the local golf course were her target market.
This first sales & marketing opportunity stimulated Eileen's interest in pursuing a business career.
Eileen graduated with Degrees in Philosophy and Sociology (go figure!).
After not finding a real market for a "Philosopher-in-Residence," she started her
business climb with Proctor & Gamble. While employed there, and then at Pillsbury Corporation, she perfected her persuasive selling skills.
She moved on to Southland Corporation and then Chevron, taking positions from multi-unit management to marketing, merchandizing & operations manager. Eileen is currently a Senior Vice President with an
international retailer, where she runs 1000-plus stores with over one billion dollars in revenue.
Her business interests include motivational speaking, turning a
profitable P&L, developing people and creating business solutions.
Eileen belongs to a women's golf association, enjoys her friends
(lots of women) and also her work associates. Personally, she loves dogs, playing golf, watching football, viewing movies, participating in
a good debate and being with interesting people (remember, she has those degrees in Sociology and Philosophy!).
