Summary
I was employed by Frito Lay/Pepsico for 30 years, starting as a route sales representative and working my way through the system in various levels of responsibility. My last position, Zone Business Manager, required me to be responsible for as many as 200 employees, over 200 route sales routes, and budget management for a sales organization of over $200MM in annual sales.
I retired in 2020 and now I find that I have some time on my hands and would like to return to work in a position where I can offer a solid background in my field. I'm looking for part time work to contribute to an organization, productively utilize available time that I now have and earn extra income.
