Kristy Coleman (Gierisch) has joined ProOptics as Client and Brand Manager. With over 25 years’ experience in optics – 20 years as a dispenser and five years as a sales representative – Ms Coleman has “deep practice knowledge and a genuine gift for customer relationships”.
In her new role, Ms Coleman will work alongside Nicola Johnston to look after practices in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. Ms Johnston, in turn, has taken on an expanded role as National Growth and Brand Ambassador, working closely with Pro-Optics co-founder Jacque Katsieris to lead the team nationally, and support key accounts.
Ms Katsieris said expanding the team and elevating Ms Johnston is an exciting move for the independent eyewear distributor.
“We’re proud to have these two passionate women working to support us and our clients – and we’re so grateful for the community we get to grow with every day.
“Kristy will represent l.a.Eyeworks, Shelter, OGI, Otis (optical and sun) to start, with Nicola continuing to lead Bloom and Nina Mur. She will manage customers’ day-to-day needs in her states while Nicola will focus on creating beautiful in-store experiences.
“For our customers this means more support, more time in-store and more styling events.”
