Sally McKenzie graduated from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland with a BA in Theater. She then relocated to Florida and attained a sales job with a local department store. This led to a position in a buying office. She eventually moved to Seattle where she accepted a position as a Merchandise Buyer for Jay Jacobs. This experience helped her attain a position with Eddie Bauer as the Product Manager/Planner for the Outlet Division. After six years of working to dramatically expand the Outlet Division, she felt she had "topped out" and took a position in the Eddie Bauer Sourcing area. This was a particularly bad fit for her and she left the company within three months. Even though she considered it "leaving", Eddie Bauer considered it a "leave of absence". Career counseling helped her to determine her strengths and priorities, and also convinced her that Eddie Bauer as a company was not a bad fit, even though her role in Sourcing was. A newspaper ad connected her with Greatfood.com where she became the Manager of Marketing and Operations. That position not only strengthened her confidence, but also provided exceptional technical and business-to-consumer web experience. This led to her returning to Eddie Bauer, this time in the Interactive Media Division where she is now a Vice President in that Division. From the Series:Information Technology Leaders
