The selling and sales operation teams make NSM the best choice for growing your business. We are experienced food brokers, ready to work for you.
Sales Team – Brands
We create successful sales growth for brands
Selling grocery products and fresh seafood into Kroger is my specialty. In eight years, I have launched 35 products with Kroger, mentored interns in the CPG industry, and have worked with Kroger’s diversity program to bring up-and-coming companies to the market.
By partnering with Kroger, every vendor and item worked with is a joint effort to achieve the maximum results for everyone involved.
In St. Louis, I work directly with Schnucks, Dierbergs, and Niemann Foods. My educational background from the University of Central Missouri has laid the groundwork for my steadfast work ethic, and I credit it for where I am today.
I am Director of Sales concentrating on large and small grocery including HEB and Publix as well as off-the-beaten-path retail and distributors. I have more than 25 years in sales and I specialize in finding hidden gems.
I work with our valued retailer and manufacturer partners in the Chicago and Wisconsin markets. My 40+ years as an experienced food broker in this business has taught me that success depends on the collaboration between myself and the people around me, from suppliers to their administrative and support staff with NSM, to the people at the retail accounts. We all make this work together.
Sales Team – Private Brands
We create successful sales growth for private brands
I manage private brand categories, including snacks, cookies/crackers, dairy, frozen/smoked meat, freeze and thaw bakery, working mainly with Save a Lot and Meijer. I am JDA certified and most recently named chairperson of our ESOP Communications Committee. Additionally, my competitive spirit allows me to enjoy sharing wins with our vendor partners.
I sell and promote private and national brand beverages, spices, and frozen foods for my clients at retailers nationally. One of my biggest feats was earning my MBA while working full time. Now I’m proud to be a member of WISE (Women Impacting Store Brand Excellence).
I manage our private brand canned meat/fish, condiments, and cereal categories. Additionally, I was a past president of the St Louis Area Food Association. Before becoming a broker for manufacturers, I worked as a category manager for a large grocery chain and know the importance of a well-prepared private brand program. Let me put my experience to work for you.
With 22 years as an experienced food broker, my specialties include hispanic foods, baking, and side-dish categories. I’m proud to have helped develop a strong private brand hispanic cheese program.
I have over 29 years of merchandising, sales, and product development experience, and I serve as our Category Sales manager covering canned vegetables, fruit, pet, and several non-food categories. I am also a member of our M & A team.
Sales Support Team
We support all selling efforts before, during, and after the sale
I have almost ten years of order management experience which includes invoicing, processing orders, and troubleshooting.
I am the Deduction Specialist at National Sales & Marketing which allows me the ability to be a liaison between manufacturers and retailers with regard to backup documentation, past due invoices, and deduction disputes. I also provide accurate research on each deduction project.
I have been in food brokerage since 1985 working in many aspects of the business. Currently, I work in order management and love problem solving!
I am the NSM office coordinator and sales assistant to our branded sales team. I have been in food brokerage for over ten years and enjoy being a critical part of the sales process.
I am the category Sales Assistant for the private brand group. I have been in the food brokerage business since 1987 and specialize in new item setup.
