Retail and Wholesale Professional with 15+ years of experience in Boutique Management, Sales Training, Customer Service, Client Development and Retention. Retail Sales Trainer for Speciality Boutiques. LinkedIn Bud Konheim CEO of Nicole Miller. Subject: Reccomendation Diane Kocevar joined our company in the early days of our retail expansion. She was instrumental in finding locations, opening stores, setting goals and hiring staff. After the stores were established she managed all the stores and was on call 24 hours every day as each store needed special attention. Diane never failed in her responsibility and was successful in running our company owned stores. I recommend her without reservations for her work ethic and her ability to handle the unexpected as well as the established routines.
