Let\u2019s take a trip back in time. It\u2019s 1988 and microwave ovens, color TVs and VCRs are all the rage. You receive a job offer from an offshore tech company that\u2019s relatively unknown and hasn\u2019t been doing business in the U.S. for very long. You accept the offer, despite the risk, because you see something in the company you can\u2019t quite explain. Something that leads you to believe greatness isn\u2019t too far away.<\/p>\n

Fast forward 28 years, and you\u2019re still with that company. You\u2019ve had a front-row seat as the enterprise morphed from an industry newbie into an industry behemoth\u2014globally renowned for its innovative processes and cutting-edge technology. Throughout this long journey, one thought was ever-present: \u201cI knew we would get here.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is where the story of Rose Luppino begins.<\/p>\n

When Rose, who now helps manage Samsung\u2019s distributor and B2B sales efforts, first received the call from a Samsung recruiter, she had never heard of the company. But she was intrigued by the conversation and decided to pursue the opportunity. Needless to say, that was the start of her long and prosperous journey at what is now the world\u2019s largest tech firm.<\/p>\n

\"Rose<\/a>

Rose Luppino is a popular figure around Samsung’s headquarters in New Jersey.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI care a lot about this company,\u201d explained Rose. \u201cThe people here are like my family. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve been able to stay here so long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose\u2019s unwavering commitment to Samsung is without question. Adorning her desk are photos collected throughout the years that tell the stories of good times with colleagues; reminders of great company milestones; and the many awards and honors she\u2019s racked up over nearly three decades. These reminders serve as an inspiration and source of pride for the venerable mainstay.<\/p>\n

In her day-to-day role, Rose manages the relationships between Samsung and more than 100 independent retailers\u2014driving sales across a wide range of products including TV, audio, memory and tablets.<\/p>\n

Extremely protective of Samsung and its reputation, she isn\u2019t shy about letting others know how she feels about competing brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are free to buy whatever they want\u2014but I don\u2019t care about those other brands,\u201d she openly admitted. \u201cI don\u2019t want them around me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This level of passion and commitment to Samsung isn\u2019t exclusive to Rose. Many employees, throughout offices across the country, recognize the value of the brand and feel the same enthusiasm about the work we do on a daily basis. They are committed to our goal\u2014as we are committed to them. Employees like Rose are the fabric of Samsung\u2014and together, we will continue to change the world for many years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
