Joseph Libero--About Myself
- 2. ABOUT MYSELF JOSEPH LIBERO My name is Joe, I have 35 yrs experience in Retail operations. From clerk, dept mgr to Store Mgr and most recently Regional Manager. Before the Pandemic, I was let go from my last employer due to reduction in force. I have a proven track record for operational excellence as well as team member development and leadership. My passion is teaching and training. I feel with my experience, I can more than help a company develop its employees to be empowered as well as develop new leaders. I love visiting stores within a company and collaborating with ALL employees. An employee that feels a sense of worth is an employee that will help the overall company team. I understand in these times that hiring and overall business operations will be different. And a company that hires me will be teaching me, more than likely, something new, which is awesome!!! If you feel that I can help your team, please reach out to me! Lets invest in each other and build something together.
