COTTON’S FINEST - STEIN SPILLER
Cotton is proud to employ some of the most professional and experienced people in the industry, and today we’d like to recognize one of them. Meet this month's Cotton's Finest: Stein Spiller, National Sales Director. Stein is celebrating 10 years with Cotton this month!
- 1. What is your role on the Cotton Team? What are 3 words you would use to describe it?
- My title is National Sales Director, but more specifically, I oversee a portion of our sales team that specializes in emergency response. We're the first ones on the ground after any type of disaster event, helping to coordinate recovery planning and operational response and ensuring client needs are met. If I had to boil it down to three words, I would say: Challenging, Chaotic and Rewarding.
- 2. Where is your favorite place in the world?
- Really, anywhere outdoors. If I'm in the woods or on the water, I'm a happy guy, especially with friends and family.
- 3. What does “One Call. One Team. Total Recovery.” mean to you?
- To me, it means you have all of the resources and expertise of the Cotton enterprise behind you. That level of support and teamwork is critical to making mission in our complex and ever-changing work environments.
- 4. How does Cotton go above and beyond for our clients?
- I would say it's simply our culture to go above and beyond for our clients, whatever that may look like. From my earliest days at Cotton over 10 years ago, I can remember Pete Bell saying, "‘no’ is not in our vocabulary at Cotton.” The standard is simple: Do what it takes to make mission and keep the client happy.
- 5. Tell us something about yourself that might surprise us!
- I love to cook. Half my family is from South Louisiana, and growing up, learning to make a roux, gumbo, etouffee and more was a rite of passage. When I can find the time, cooking for friends and family is definitely a passion.
