Hear From Our Imperial Team Members

Kylie Mueller – Dedicated Account Advisor

"If you’re looking for a place to start a career, Imperial Supplies is the place for you! I started with Imperial in 2011, just days after graduating college, and I’m so glad my path led me here. For the past 11.5 years, I’ve enjoyed my position as a Dedicated Account Advisor serving customers nationwide. What I love most about working for Imperial is the company culture – finding a work environment where you feel comfortable is key. What motivates me most is building long lasting relationships with my customers…if it wasn’t for them, Imperial wouldn’t be where it was today."

Nick Robillard – Manager, National Accounts

"I joined Imperial in 2015 and currently hold the position of Manager, National Accounts. I’ve held numerous roles within our sales department such as Dedicated Account Advisor, National Account Specialist, Key Account Manager and Corporate Account Manager. What I love most about Imperial is their commitment to developing team members and the ability to quickly grow within our organization. By Imperial doing this it motivates and empowers team members to come together as one team to identify innovative solutions to our customers’ challenges."

Amy DeMerritt – Channel Development Manager

"I joined Imperial in 2010 as a Pricing Analyst. Imperial’s rapid growth and market expansion has generated new value-added services we offer to customers as well as new role opportunities for team members. This growth has allowed me to hold roles in a variety of departments and build a cross functional background in Pricing, Procurement and Sales Support. As a Channel Development Manager, I am motivated to drive innovative ways to meet the customer’s goals and objectives and continue to expand our value-added services. Imperial’s “Win as One Team” culture facilitates a collaborative work environment to build both a rewarding career and customer experience."

Dane Urfer – Senior Manager, National Accounts

"I just celebrated 10 years at Imperial this year. Early on during my tenure at Imperial, I noticed the organization’s “people first” culture and opportunity to grow within the organization. I was hired initially for the Dedicated Account Advisor role, and after 3 years, I was promoted into our outside Sales Department, holding the positions of Key Accounts Manager and Corporate Accounts Manager. In 2022, I was promoted to a leadership level as Senior Manager, National Accounts. Being a part of a fast-growing organization and “people first” culture allows for career advancement like this, especially since Imperial has tools in place to help you achieve your career goals. Imperial’s culture is industry-leading because everyone wants you to succeed and is willing to help so we can all win as one team."

Robin Kralovetz – Senior Field Service Manager

"I started working at Imperial in 2005 at the Green Bay Distribution Center, where I held multiple positions within my first year. In 2006 I joined the Field Service department and that's where I’ve been ever since. I am now the Senior Field Service Manager of a team of 60+ Leaders, Technicians and Analysts that travel around the country to convert customers to the Imperial program. The travel aspect brought me to the Field Service department, and the leadership team that we've assembled is what has made me stay. They are some of the best leaders I have ever worked with!"

Ryan Dunnick – Corporate Accounts Manager

"I joined the Imperial Team in 2015 after graduating from UW-Green Bay. I’ve held various roles within the company, starting out as an Account Advisor and working my way up to a Corporate Accounts Manager. Imperial is a phenomenal career choice for many, as they have great incentive-based programs, work/life balance, competitive benefits and a strong team to support you in your day to day work. Being in a sales role, I get out of it what I put into it, which drives me to do my best each and every day."

Mike Breed – Sr. Director, Pricing Management

"Since 1997, I have enjoyed an entrepreneurial environment where curiosity about our business and the freedom to challenge myself has led to unique developmental opportunities. I’ve worked in Inside Sales and Operations, and have been fortunate to work with such committed, passionate team members. We share a desire to achieve growth through unequalled customer service and accountability for our role in the customer experience."

Sabrina Czarapata – Dedicated Account Advisor

"I started working at Imperial Supplies in 2016 and have enjoyed every minute. I am currently a Dedicated Account Advisor in Regionals, but I’ve also participated in many different projects, focus groups, etc. I enjoy being in sales and working closely with my customers day in and day out. There are so many reasons why I love working for Imperial! From the culture to the cross-functionality of all teams working together to make the experience for our customer’s top notch. Everyone is happy to see others succeed and that is something that continues to push me every day. We truly are a “family” here at Imperial and I am so proud and grateful to be a part of it!"
