Management

"With almost twenty-five years of experience, I am a hard-working, passionate, energetic and results oriented leader with an outstanding track record in sales, people management, brand marketing and growing strategic partnerships. My background includes leading dynamic sales teams in fast-paced environments. My experience includes working with clients from professional sports teams, corporate brands and licensed sports products with an extensive network of retail sales channels in North America. We represent many of the top brands and assortments in the industry. We have a knowledgeable team of experts ensuring we are always offering trending and top selling products to our customers. I am very excited to create long-term relationships and develop new business while earning retailer trust. My family is very active and we enjoy travelling. I am honored that I have the opportunity to help coach my daughters' hockey which was a passionate sport of mine growing up."

"I’ve spent 25 years in senior retail management positions, and I’ve always enjoyed the mix of numbers, people, and problem-solving that comes with it. After graduating from Western with a degree in Economics and Statistics, I started out working for an economic think tank company and then briefly in the stock market before moving into the retail business through Sears Canada’s Corporate Management Training Program in 1996. From there, I worked through a range of Buying, Planning, and Logistics/Operations roles in Toys, Sporting Goods, Leisure, Hardware, Seasonal, Electronics and Video Games categories, with stops at Sears Canada, Toys R Us, The Source, and Mastermind Toys. What I’ve always liked most is helping make things work better and seeing the results — whether that means improving a process, building stronger supplier relationships with focus on service of supply, or making sure a team is aligned and communicating clearly. I’ve found that the best results usually come from keeping things practical, staying open to better ideas, and focusing on what actually works. Outside of work, I’m a big food person. I started cooking when I was young, worked with chefs as a teenager, and I’ve kept that passion ever since. I also love travelling, golf, racquet sports and I still have a soft spot for comics and a good garage sale find!"

"I’m an Account Manager Analyst at Grosnor with more than 25 years of experience in sports retail. Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong foundation in customer service and developed meaningful vendor relationships, always focusing on delivering value and creating positive experiences for both partners and clients. In my current role, I analyze sales data and performance trends to uncover insights that support account growth and day-to-day decision-making. I take a thoughtful, practical approach to my work, using clear communication and problem solving to work through challenges as they come up. As a lifelong sports enthusiast, I continue to stay closely connected to the industry that has shaped much of my career."

"In 1988, I started working with Rob Roche at his retail trading card store. In the years since, I have worked at almost every position within the company from sweeping and vacuuming the floors after school to where I am today. In 2000, upon completion of my schooling, I came on staff full time with Grosnor as an Account Manager. I have worked in both the Ajax and Toronto locations at this position. In January of 2007, I took on the role of Sales Manager in the Ajax office and in May of 2012, the Director of E-commerce. I look forward to utilizing the skills I have learned and developed over the past years in helping to serve you, the customer!"

"I started my hobby journey as a kid in school opening his first pack back in 2002, since then, I haven't looked back. This hobby has taken me across the world whether it has been collecting, playing tournaments, conventions and more! Having since managed a Hobby Store, I decided to take the next step in the industry and join Grosnor where I started as a Hobby account manager. I have since had the opportunity to transition into a Brand Manager for Toys, Board Games, and Trading Cards, where I am now overseeing a wide range of product lines so our customers are able to get the product they need."

"I graduated from York University here in Toronto with a Political Science b.a. in 2003, and found my way to Grosnor about a year later. I had dabbled in the retail side of the industry over the years, but never done anything large scale. As a collector my interests and experience have been all over the card collecting field - from Sports as a kid to Gaming, and most recently Non-Sports. Learning about all of the diverse, and ever expanding, inventory that Grosnor has to offer from action figures to all manner of NHL licensed merchandise, has been an interesting challenge. As Grosnor's bilingual Account Manager for roughly 15 years, my accounts included our french speaking customers. Since joining the management team around 2019, I've continued to manage Grosnor's supply brands and also taken responsibility for various toy and game lines. In my spare time I work to keep Grosnor running as smoothly as possible."

"I graduated from Seneca at York for Graphic Design in 2008 and was welcomed into the Grosnor family in 2014. My initial role started with assisting the Toy/Game Brand Manager and website maintenance. Today, I have grown into managing my own Toy and Board Game lines, assisting with internal marketing projects, and still continuing website duties. Outside the office you'll find me playing guitar, video games, sometimes reading, and running out of space for all things this industry has to offer. Working at Grosnor has been a great experience and taught me so much in the 10+ years I've been here. Looking forward to 10 more."
