SVP of Field Operations

What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World What other teams do you work with the most? Today, I work with our Field Operations Team that includes our dealership and retail organization, and recently I have started supporting our Call Center Operations Team. If it's related to the customer experience I want to learn as much as I can about how we can continue to improve and exceed our customers expectations. What is your favorite thing about your job and why? That's easy! Our customers and my amazing teammates!

Knowing that our customers have a choice when they're ready to purchase an RV, have service work done at one of our service centers, or buy different accessories from our retail business, I want Camping World to be their first choice every time! In order to earn their business and their trust, we have to hold ourselves to the highest standard and provide them with the best experience. Today, I have the privilege of overseeing the development and implementation of processes to improve customer cultivation, customer retention and retail sales for the enterprise. What made you interested in working in the outdoor recreation industry? Before joining Camping World I stayed at home to raise my two sons Blake and Brandon after a previous career in banking. When my youngest was ready to enter kindergarten, I knew I wanted to do something challenging and fun outside of the home. Growing up my dad worked in car dealerships so I knew the ins and outs of the business. When I walked through the doors of Camping World, it was an easy transition and I quickly fell in love with our customers and the RV lifestyle. How has Camping World Holdings helped you succeed as a woman in the workplace? How is this different than other companies you have worked at? I've been mentored by many extraordinary male and female leaders over the years. I'm so proud that I work for an organization that rewards good work regardless of your gender. Marcus and the rest of the leadership team embraces the fact that when there are women in the room helping make decisions we're all better for it, and that's been the most rewarding experience for me. As the leader in the RV industry, we have a responsibility to provide equal opportunity for every team member. It's part of our core values as an organization and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. What advice would you offer other women who are interested in a career at a Camping World Holdings brand? Come join us! I've been told countless times that the magic happens when we step outside of our comfort zone and it's so true. Whether you're just entering the work force, returning after time away, or you're looking for a new opportunity, we would love to share more about who we are and why we might be a great fit for you. If you've already made the leap, we're so glad you're here! Make it a point every day to learn something new and show up with the intent to have a meaningful impact on our customers and co-workers. We're all better together!

If you're ready to take on a new challenge in a company that's just getting started, we would love to chat with you!

UI/UX Designer

What other teams do you work with the most? Teams I work with most of the time are the Digital Development Team, as well as the Content Team. Throughout the project lifespan, we also interface with Business stakeholders. What brand(s) do you work for? Camping World, Good Sam What is your favorite thing about your job and why? Ayyy great question! Prefacing this question, have been in UX for over 7 years of which a majority have been fast-moving UX Teams that blend Enterprise Infrastructure and startup-modeled project execution. THAT said, my favorite thing about my job here is the TRUST. I am empowered to make decisions with a team, that also trusts me. In a world of empty promises and jobs filled with uncertainty, Camping World has shown that they TRUST their folks to perform. What is the most rewarding project you have work on here and why? Another great question! The most rewarding project has been the RV Rentals project which just kicked off. As a Team, we built a Peer-to-Peer Marketplace for travel enthusiasts to rent and sell RVs.

The most rewarding (the WHY): I LOVED meeting with Leadership and working directly with Stakeholders, within Figma. Here is the thing to newer Designers out there; HAVE FUN! Allow your stakeholders to do things in Figma, but also know when tell them to chill out. Allow developers to sketch, learn code. Study data. Enjoy this profession! For this Peer-to-Peer project, I super-enjoyed my profession. Still optimizing the experience so it is a continuous learning collaborative experience. A Team experience. What charity/cause/activity is most important to you and why? Most important to me is Habitat for Humanity. Helping those in the time of need is what my faith is built on, and I love helping. Serving. Very excited for my potential first Project Good Sam Event! What advice would you give to someone applying to a job at Camping World? Some advice I would give to someone applying to a job here with my Camping World fam is to come ready to innovate. Camping World is a very robust environment well-positioned to accelerate your career. Every successful environment, team, dynasty, kingdom, or cause begins with Servant-Leadership. And not to be cheesy here, but Marcus is just that. A servant-leader.

I hope you do decide to join us here at Camping World. Ecommerce has become increasingly competitive and it takes a level of ingenuity, and a heart of helping, to truly innovate within this consumer-facing sector. Camping World, will, continue fostering opportunities for people to do their very best work.

Thanks for interviewing me and I hope to continue building upon this great legacy we have here. God bless you all and may The Lord bless this wonderful, beautiful country of ours!
