Donna was part of my team as Area Manager Fragrances for Scotland, a key area for the business. She was systematically ranking among the top Area Managers. Her commitment, passion, knowledge of her stores, teams and clients was outstanding. She is also a true positive spirit in a team and is not afraid of taking challenges. I remember always going the extra mile and getting additional visibility and support to our brands from her partners. I would hire tomorrow again!
I can confirm I know Donna from working together for Loreal. Donna looked after fragrance brands in same area as me.
I worked with Donna from the time I was a Product Manager through to the time that I was a Marketing Director. She was thorough, curious, agile in finding solutions and creative in thinking outside the box. Most importantly she was somebody that led by example and with empathy. She was somebody ready to coach, give advice and build bridges with other functions to find solutions. She was always one of our RBM leaders when I worked with her and I very much appreciated her work ethic and support. She would be a highly recommended candidate for me!
