Nicholas Nave
District Manager - Frontline Media Solutions, LLC
Shreveport,LA
Summary
Accomplished District Manager experienced in directing sales, staffing and operations for multiple stores and large staffs. Exceptional leader of growth initiatives and new concepts for promotions, product launches and sales initiatives.
Creating human teams from scratch that can satisfy the toughest clients is what I do. For the last 5 years I’ve liquidated dozens of major brand’s retail locations. Bed Bath & Beyond, Ashley’s, Toys R Us, Fred’s, Rue 21, and many more. I’ve handled operations for contracts remotely and in person in every state except Alaska. People from every state except Alaska, but including Hawaii, remotely. Over 2 year streak with 100% of all contracted labor positions filled. I strive to be the best at everything I do, and live by the motto: "Arte et marte. Omnia fieri possunt." - "By skill and by fighting, all things are possible".
