	Patti Gilbride, Eastern Regional Sales Manager Once a sales wiz, always a sales wiz – at least in Patti Gilbride’s case. Formerly a region manager for Chipita America, where she developed and executed business plans for food brands, Patti joins 34 Degrees as the Eastern Regional Sales Manager. Patti has a vast background in sales and project management, as well as extensive knowledge of the grocery and deli industry. Bringing with her more than 20 years of sales and management experience, her professional background also includes business managerial positions with Snyder’s-Lance, Inc., Great Brands of Europe, Inc., Golden Books Family Entertainment and Maybelline, LLC. A sucker for ‘90s grunge bands and Italian musical serenades, Patti is a ‘sweet’ new addition to the 34 Degrees team. More about Patti… What’s your coolest possession? I have my family genealogy that my great aunt passed down to me. She had it done before anyone even knew about the internet. I've been able to take it and expand on it as newer information becomes available. It's been cool to see my grandfather's 1st census from when he was 9 years old and the ship's documents from when my grandmother arrived in this country. What’s the most-listened to song on your iPod? Just Breathe by Pearl Jam Your most memorable meal? When I got engaged, my husband took me to an Italian restaurant where the waiters sang opera. After an amazing meal, my husband proposed while our waiter sang Nessun Dorma. Most inspiring place you’ve ever been? Kenya and Tanzania. It was incredible to see lions and cheetahs and elephants in their native environment. What is your greatest food temptation? Caramel! Favorite outfit in the 7th grade? My first pair of "designer" jeans. I went to Catholic school so anything that wasn't a plaid jumper was my favorite! What would acquaintances be most surprised to learn about you? That despite being a natural born klutz of the highest order, with not a single athletic bone in my body, I have actually been rappelling, spelunking, scuba diving, zip lining and snowmobiling. I may not have done any of them well, but I did them! More about Patti…
