Zoe Maliszewski
Sales Manager
Every brand has stories to tell—stories that will not only engage, inform, surprise, delight, and impact their audience, but that will also deliver on measurable business goals. And I am the conduit to bring a brand’s dreams to fruition.
Currently, I am a Sales Manager at Emerald X, where I’ve collaborated with global leaders in the luxury, beauty, gift, and design industries. Currently, my role is focused on domestic + international sales, as well as event planning for one of the world’s most popular b2b wholesale markets, NY NOW. I close sales, exceed expectations and help my clients build their brands and gain a cult following.
