HI, I’M KELLIE

I’m Kellie La Belle, a vibrant, seasoned professional re-entering the workforce after more than a decade of successfully running my own business.

My entrepreneurial journey and previous management positions in housekeeping, retail, and nursery/lawn and garden equipped me with a wealth of experience in leadership, strategic planning, and operational excellence.

I’m excited to bring my skills, dedication, and passion for innovation to a new role, where I can continue to drive success and make a positive impact on a team.

I'm a motivating leader

I’ve built a career focused on identifying opportunities for process improvements and innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency.

I turned La Belle’s into a thriving business by implementing strategic plans and efficient operations. My focus on client satisfaction led to a high percentage of repeat bookings, and my innovative marketing and networking efforts significantly boosted our revenue. Recruiting, training, and managing a dedicated team, I ensured consistent service quality and fostered a high-morale, high-performance environment.

President

Planet Thrift LLC,
1 year

At Planet Thrift LLC, I managed store operations, budgeting, and inventory. I championed sustainability by introducing eco-friendly practices and launched creative marketing campaigns that increased our store’s visibility and customer engagement. My innovative merchandising techniques made shopping an enjoyable experience and drove sales. Here, I led a high-performing team with impressively low turnover.

Department Manager

I was with Walmart during the introduction of Super Walmart, so I know how to navigate change. I approached the lawn and garden department with an innovative mindset, optimizing inventory management, sales strategies, and customer service. Leading a team of associates, I implemented a mentoring program that enhanced performance and morale.
