11/06/08 - I am excited to announce that Ellen has been promoted! As most of you probably know, Ellen has been working at Nordstrom at the Flatiron Crossing location since they opened their doors. While she has worked her way into management and served in variety of roles, she has most recently spent the past year as the Customer Service manager. Over the past week, she was approached by the regional manager of Customer Service and asked if she would be interested in making the move to Park Meadows to assume control of their Customer Service department.
As you might expect, the decision was a difficult one for Ellen. Not only will this potentially triple her commute but it will also result in some additional time commitments. Also, it's worth noting that Ellen is one of only a few remaining employees who had opened the Flatiron store and continues to work there today. It's been a good home for her and she has built several close and lasting relationships during her time. After a weekend of deliberations Ellen determined the opportunity was simply too good to pass up and Monday she accepted the offer. Her first day at the new store (to her anyway) will be tomorrow.
How is this a promotion you might ask? The Park Meadows store is the largest in Colorado for Nordstrom and does nearly triple the sales volume as the Flatiron store. Additionally, Park Meadows plays host to a variety of special events and special customers so the responsibility of the Customer Service manager is vast. Below, please check out a small piece of what Ellen's regional manager had to say about her in the announcement...
"...From 2002 through 2005, she managed Kid’s Shoes, Men’s Shoes and Women’s/Salon Shoes.
Always looking for a challenge, Ellen took on the role as Customer Service Manager at our Flat Iron store last year. She quickly embraced the role and displayed the ability to drive results and provide incredible leadership skills. She is passionate about teaching and coaching. She encourages growth for herself and the teams she supports. Her leadership, commitment to results, and desire to learn will serve her well in her new position..."
Best of luck to Ellen in her new post! We're all very proud of you!
