Employee Spotlight - Kerry Hayes, Business Development Manager

Kerry started on her professional journey in a very different world from interior design. After graduating from Boston College with a Political Science degree, she was looking toward law school as the next step. Sidestepping a bit, Kerry “filled in” for her sister at their family’s insurance agency which then led to a different career path. She along with her 3 sisters ran the family business for over 20 years. Looking to make a change & completely shift worlds, Kerry joined Eleven Interiors in 2012 as Project Coordinator. Having owned & managed a business already, Kerry had the skill set needed to organize, assist & execute projects as well as handle client relations. She now has taken on the role of Business Development Manager where she oversees business & marketing efforts from coordinating industry events, sponsorship & charitable opportunities, social media outreach & support to the design team.

As part of our Spotlight Series, we've asked each of our team members to answer questions so you can learn a bit more about them. Read below to learn more about Kerry:

Best part of working on a team?

I’m a team person/player-always willing to help out, jump in, assist-it’s how I’m wired & I truly enjoy working with & supporting others.

Dog or cat? 

Dogs definitely! As Christina noted in her spotlight, I too have a special place for chocolate labs-the best of all being my #1 boy Mac.

Beach or mountains? 

I am a beach girl all the way-give me a chair & I’ll sit & sit & sit & sit…there’s nothing like a good sunset!
