Best Buy
Emerging Business Lead
The Electric Vehicle industry was in its infancy stage and I was able to shape how a major retailer is involved in this emerging business. Testing of new models, marketing strategies, research, and development are a few of the areas I oversaw. Along with the business development, I was responsible for the growth and development of employees in the emerging business category. The platform that I created is currently still used in all emerging business Best Buy tests today.
