A seasoned industry and Vanguard veteran, Erin worked her way through the organization, starting in the structural design department, moving to operations, and now to sales. Her experience runs deep in the in-store retail display program business. In her previous role as Program Manager, Erin’s focus was on the Apparel category as well as playing an instrumental role in driving the volume and success of the Vanguard packout operations nationwide. Her expertise in multi-vendor pallet and multi-department programs will be carried through to her new role growing the beauty category business.

When Erin is not selling and managing displays programs, she is representing Vanguard on the executive committee for The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign in Northwest Arkansas. She also works with the Sharing and Caring of Benton County Team helping the women and families in Northwest Arkansas.
