• Obsessed with people and product, with attention to detail and dedication to exceptional service
• Thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and comfortable managing high expectations from an affluent clientele
• Grounded, experienced enough to bring structure but still highly visible on the floor (roughly 70% floor, 30% admin)
