A pilot since age 16, Jeff learned lessons that help him in his current role at Clorox, piloting the direction of the company's sales division. "My job as director of sales is to steer my team and customers in a direction that drives growth skyward," he says.
Several days a week, Jeff can still be found at an airport, though no longer inside the cockpit. "I consider airplanes my second home."
Where's he flying? You might find Jeff, a 20-year Clorox veteran, at PetsMart headquarters selling a customer marketing program to senior management. Some days he can be spotted conducting store audits with Autozone buyers, looking for ways to improve shelving and merchandising tactics on Armor All and STP brands.
As soon as his feet touch ground, he's busy trafficking conference calls with field sales "to keep them focused on our business and get updates on our initiatives." Or gearing up for a forecasting meeting "to ensure the sales voice is heard in the manufacturing and deployment process."
What's it like to work in the sales division? Jeff says, "We've got a top-flight crew-the best you'll find anywhere. We track results and make necessary course corrections, but for the most part, we go full throttle."
