I manage one of Sealy Australia’s biggest retail accounts across NSW, working closely with stores to make sure we're driving results, building strong retail relationships, and representing the brand the right way.

- Deliver in-store product training & sales coaching/development, and tailored learning sessions that improve product confidence, sales technique, and customer engagement at the store level.
