About the guest: Robin Brush is the Training and Education Manager for Safilo North America, and her role supports both the company's internal sales organization and its external customers. As an ABO speaker, Robin provides educational seminars on a variety of topics directly to Safilo accounts and at trade shows, including Vision Expos East and West. Many of her webinars and training sessions are featured on mysafilo.com and on mysafilo.com/CA, Safilo's b2b websites for North America.
An ABO-certified optician, Robin has worked in optical for the last 28 years, with a focus and purpose of educating and leading others to see their true potential. In 2018, Robin decided to "switch sides", and joined Safilo as a Key Account Manager. From there, her keen ability to educate and inspire others helped her transition to the newly created role of Training and Education Manager.
During the early stages of the COVID shutdown, while optical practices were either closed or operating on a limited schedule, Robin created and led a very successful and extensive educational webinar series on a variety of topics ranging from successful frame buying and visual merchandising to managing frame return rates and inventory analysis. Robin's webinar series was translated into three languages and made available to Safilo's customers globally, largely due to customer demand for her expertise in these areas. In recognition of her leadership, Robin was honored as one of Vision Monday's Most Influential Women in Optical in 2021.
