Anne Mader

I provide marketing consulting, product management, procurement and merchandising services to small companies in the home decor industry who do not have a marketing or buying department of their own. My objective is to analyse existing processes in order to make them more efficient, and ensure a professional appearance of the business at all points of contact.

Worked closely with buyers and category managers to develop new product lines under the company's value brand BONUS and the mid-market brand Max Bahr. Developed branding and packaging for all categories, including paint, home decor, flooring, power tools, hand tools, gardening, outdoor, bath and many more. Ensured timely development as well as consistent, contemporary brand appearance. Led team of 4 product managers.

Developed in-store merchandising programs for the company's national key accounts, such as Home Depot, Lowe's, and Target. Worked closely with the sales force to meet customer's needs on a timely and cost-efficient basis. Supervised 2 staff.

Acted as the primary sales contact for private label key accounts of the company's power tool division. Teamed with engineering, manufacturing and logistics to develop and deliver customer-specific product lines in a timely fashion. Ensured on-time ordering and delivery for existing product lines. Co-supervised 1 assistant.

At Bosch's power tool division, I acted as the primary contact for subsidiaries and agencies distributing industrial tools in Western Europe.
