Improving infrastructure efficiencies and quality assurance are top priorities.

Successful installations and client service execution have been experienced at each stage of growth. Additionally, Booth oversaw the operational upgrade of the company's in-store print network from black-and-white-only offerings to full-scale-color solutions.

Under Booth's leadership, the company's human resources department enhanced the employee experience by taking a more holistic look at pay, benefits, and career and work/life balance resources. A "Total Rewards" program was launched that takes an individualized approach to the value delivered to each Catalina Marketing employee. Talent management has also been a priority for Booth, implementing a competency based approached to leadership development, talent acquisition, and annual talent assessment.

Most recently, Booth was charged with building a strong presence in the Japanese market. Efforts initially focused on ensuring the business unit was operationally sound, bridging US business development best practices, and ultimately preparing the business to scale. The total team effort has delivered expanded, global relationships with leading shopper packaged goods manufacturers as well as significant retail network expansion. Today, the business continues to grow producing results that consistently meet and exceed financial and strategic growth objectives.

With more than 25 years of retail and marketing experience, Booth has consulted on behalf of Retail Systems Consulting and served in key management positions with industry leaders including IRI, Wang Laboratories and National Semiconductors.
