Press release: ZIWI
With substantial growth goals, comes the need for talented individuals to help achieve targets. The ZIWI North American office is excited to welcome aboard two new members to the team, both in the Overland Park, Kansas office, as well as in the field. Sara Shields joined in May as sales support administrator, and Ann Money joined last month as a territory manager in the Northeast region. Learn more about them and what they will be helping the company conquer.
Sara Shields | Sales Support Administrator
After graduating from Kansas State University, Shields has been working in the pet industry for the past six years including being a manager for a pet food store and as a customer service representative in the vet industry. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in administrative skills to the sales team where she will be processing billbacks, account credits, sales data, tracking incentive programs and managing trade shows. She is excited to be a part of ZIWI’s continually growing company.
Ann Money | Territory Manager
Upon graduation from Curry College with a BS in Psychology and Business Administration, Money entered the financial industry. A few years later, it was a natural fit for her to transfer her financial skills to sales. Money had much success selling, educating and implementing medical devices and various products in the pharmaceutical industry.
Money is excited to join the ZIWI team and is eager to learn the pet industry business and combine her skills from previous sales positions and her love for animals into play in the Northeastern region.
