Christine joins the SparkBase team after 5 years with Restaurants-America, where she was General Manager at two locations, project manager for new store openings and a Manager Trainer. As a Manager Trainer, Christine assisted in restructuring the training program for new team members as well as mentoring managers after training was completed.
“Christine brings an impressive skill set to the company,” said Douglas Hardman, SparkBase’s CEO. “As we add larger clients, we’re finding that ongoing training and support is as important as the continual technology improvements that are the cornerstone of our company.”
Christine’s locations were two of the top performing in the company, boasting more than 25% annual sales increases year over year, due in part, to her successful implementation and marketing of the loyalty program at both locations.
“We needed someone that not only understood the technology, but also what the merchants were looking for in a gift & loyalty program,” said Mr. Hardman. “Christine can show our clients how stored value programs are used in the field, and offer suggestions about how they can better attract new business with well-executed programs. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
