Gene Juarez Salons & Spas recruited industry veteran Janet Denyer to serve as CEO in July of 2006, following the sale of Gene Juarez to Evergreen Pacific Partners. Janet is charged with leading the company through its next phase of growth, which will include refining the company's renown training programs, launching new products and services, and opening new locations within the Puget Sound.
Immediately prior to Gene Juarez, Janet served as Senior Vice President of Operations at Red Door Salon and Spas, Elizabeth Arden. There she oversaw an impressive growth and expansion of the Red Doors, as well as the development of employee training programs, the launch of new products and services, and the creation of operational standards that significantly raised the level of customer service. While SVP of Operations for Red Door Salons and Spas, Janet supervised the opening of 18 new Red Doors culminating in responsibility for the operations of more than 40 spas and salons throughout the United States and United Kingdom, including a workforce of more than 2,500 employees.
Janet started her salon and spa management career as a Spa Director for the Bonaventure Resort and Spa, a premier destination resort spa and an Intercontinental Hotel property. She then opened the first Spa for Marriott International at their flagship resort, Marriott's Desert Springs. In this endeavor she partnered with renown, celebrity hair stylist, Jose Eber.
After 10 years in spa line operations, Janet started her own spa consulting business, which became very successful. As a consultant, Janet worked for numerous prestige clients including The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Disney, and Mirage Resorts. Her firm participated in the development of over 80 major spas representing over $400 million dollars in construction. Janet sold the enterprise in 2001 when she joined Red Door Spas as their Senior Vice President of Operations.
Also, on the agenda, Terri Cox and Wendy Peterson from North Seattle Community College will take a few moments to explain how your business might obtain a qualified intern from the college. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about how the intern program works. This presentation is a result of the Northgate Chamber board meeting with the new President of NSCC and other staff members to brainstorm ways in which our businesses can partner with students and faculty at the college.
Join us at our meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and you may learn some valuable information that may change the way you do business.
