Jim Manfre
I have spent over 30 years in the music business. This included 25 years as an award winning sales and marketing representative for WEA (the Warner Bros. Music Group) in Chicago, Wisconsin and Indiana. Prior to that I was Sales Rep with MCA Records for two years and five years as Store Manager with Disc Records in Chicago, Kansas City and Indianapolis in the 1970's. In addition to this I have had ownership interests in an independent retail record store and was a founding partner of an independent recording label.
After leaving WEA in 2004 I have been a licensed mortgage loan officer, a Country insurance agent and a series 7 licensed financial advisor.
I decided to re-enter the entertainment business. In 2007 I was hired by Mosaic Sales Solutions as a movie merchandiser for the Best Buy stores.
I am pleased to announce that I have recently joined Baker and Taylor as their New Business Development Representative. Baker and Taylor is one of the worlds largest supplier of physical and digital content (CDs, DVDs & Books) and value added services. I am responsible for opening new accounts and building relationships with existing music and video retailers and wholesalers in the continental US.
