Connections and Conversations
David Bland, Publisher
One of my favorite assignments as Publisher is interviewing leading executives in the channel to seek their insights from the C-Suite. The Getting Real feature, published about six times per year, allows me to do that in the most fluid way possible: a Q&A format.
This month, SSN interviewed Chris Cicchinelli, president and CEO of Pure Romance, where he leads business development, operations, sales, and marketing. Cicchinelli started working at Pure Romance to help his mother, company founder Patty Brisben, grow the business. It is now the world’s largest in-home/virtual party company of its kind, with revenue over $250 million today.
