Teresa Stancik

Advisor

Teresa is an enthusiastic, ABO Certified leader. She started her career in the optical industry in 2002 working for one of the largest optical retailers in the world. What started off as a part time position while attending Northern Illinois University, grew into a passion and life-long mission of helping people see their best. Her experience in the optical industry is multifaceted including store management and leadership, new store business development, and multi-unit field management where she supported fifteen retail locations in the Chicagoland area.

After spending nearly two decades working in the optical industry for multimillion dollar brands and startups, Teresa knows and understands what really drives the business – It is how well you connect with the heart of the people you are working with, whether that is your patients or your team, while communicating your understanding of their needs and goals.

Teresa has a consistent track record of achieving sales targets, profit, and regional growth objectives. She also has an excellent reputation for developing diverse, high performing teams that offer exceptional customer service and positively contribute to company initiatives.

Teresa and her husband Derek have one child, Gabriel. She loves spending time with her family, traveling, and considers herself to be an avid thrill seeker. She has been known to jump out of perfectly good airplanes (by choice!) and go scuba diving. She is always up for the next adventure and willing to try something new!
