John Sanchez
Chief Financial Officer
It’s not always all about the numbers. Okay, he’s the accounting guy, so it really is all about the numbers for him.
In His Own Words: "I have always preferred solid colors over designs or patterns – it’s the accountant in me. So, when I first saw the Hot Chocolate collection – the brown background with all of those wildly colored dots -- I thought to myself, “this is never going to sell.” Now, here we are, all of these years later, and that collection still flies off the shelves. It’s continued to be Carolina Pad’s number one best seller … and I’ve never been happier to be wrong!"
John’s Favorite Product: The Notebound Notebook. This is a great notebook for John. He needs a strong, durable notebook, tough enough to deflect the projectiles we throw at him at budget meetings.
