Over the course of her 28-year tenure with the company, she managed the financial operations and profitability of the retail division. On the marketing side, she was responsible for developing integrated marketing strategies including digital, social and in-store campaigns to increase brand awareness and drive consumers to retail locations.

“Kelle has a great passion for developing strong brand messages that are creative and innovative, elevating them to new levels that truly drive growth,” said Stuart Carlitz, president and chief executive officer of Eclipse International. “Her broad background, not only in marketing, but in business management, sales and merchandising makes her the perfect leader for our marketing team as we continue to develop and expand our portfolio of brands.”
