Business Development

Eileen graduated with a B.S. in Organizational Management from Keuka College. She began her career in business as the Director of Sales and Marketing for an East Coast company before transitioning to outside sales for several Central New York businesses. Eileen has worked with companies of all sizes and in various capacities. Her industry knowledge and ability to identify what businesses need, how she can help, and what will work stem from her education and extensive experience in the field.

In 2018, Eileen opened her own marketing business, stating, “I truly enjoy helping people grow their business. It becomes a community-wide investment because when one business starts to grow, so does the community around it.”

Eileen received the “Shining Star” award from the Southern Tier Binghamton Business Meet-Up in 2015 and the “Networker of the Year” award in 2016. From 2015 to 2018, she served as an Ambassador for the Watkins Glen Chamber of Commerce, chairing the Ambassador program from 2016 to 2018.

Eileen enjoys volunteering and ran the children’s after-school program for Fusion (now City of Light) from 2015 to 2018, working with children in Chemung County. When she is not working, she spends her time driving teenagers to their travel sports events and occasionally hiking with her dogs.
