Honey Stinger hired Jennifer Shea as its national sales manager. In addition, current sales team member Christian Boeri has been named key account representative for the grocery category. Both Shea and Boeri will start immediately.
Shea joins the Honey Stinger team as national sales manager with more than 15 years of sales and marketing experience across a variety of industries. Shea worked in the magazine industry for leading publishers and national distributers; for the Hearst Distribution Group and Time Warner Retail Sales and Marketing, where she held several leadership positions including brand manager, director of sales for direct and regional wholesale sales and key account management. Her broad experience in media sales and distribution, sales team management and knowledge of supply chain issues and new product introductions will be critical in her new role.
“Jennifer has a strong background in sales and has proven herself as a natural leader on a national level as well as here in Steamboat,” states Bill Gamber, co-founder of Honey Stinger. “We are looking forward to growing Honey Stinger sales under her strong leadership.”
