/
In this episode, Kate Plummer talks with Latisha Marshall, Robert Cunningham and Annette Jensen about their recognition on PPB’s Uncommon Leaders. They talk about what makes a good leader, how things have changed with COVID and how to follow in their footsteps.
Rob Cunningham is a 25 yr. veteran in the promotional market as he started as an artist and worked his way up to president in 2010. Rob has worked on industry boards and holds a MASI. Rob is also the COO of the parent company of Uniflex and is currently building a new 150,000 sq ft facility for distribution and printing in Berks county, PA. When he’s not managing many facilities around the country he resides in Long Island and is happily married with 2 twenty-somethings.
Annette Jensen is the Vice President of Sales for Victorinox Swiss Army and has been with the company for 26 years. She says it is an honor to work for a family owned business that started in 1884. She worked in many roles at VSAI learning all aspects of the company. The promotional and incentive business allows her to have her creative hat on all the time and offer solutions to great distributors and corporations in the U.S. and globally. What she loves is that over these years she has made so many friends inside the company and with distributor partners – they are family to her. When she is not with her Swiss family, she enjoys time at home with her husband, son and daughter. They have lots of fun with their sports baseball and softball, and she can’t leave out her new best friend, their puppy Bentley!
