Kemi is an invaluable asset to Bottega. During my time working with her, I witnessed firsthand her exceptional customer care and mastery in managing the luxury sales process. Her confidence, paired with her ability to curate bespoke experiences for every client, ensures she maximizes every sales opportunity. Kemi is not only highly skilled and well-rounded but also incredibly kind and personable. I have no doubt she would be a tremendous addition to any team, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
