(PRESS RELEASE) -- Rymax, the premium and incentive industry’s pioneer in loyalty marketing, today announced Carrie Bryan as its new Senior Director of Key Accounts. As part of her responsibilities, she will play a critical role in nurturing and growing relationships with the company’s clients, driving revenue growth, and ensuring long-term success. Based in Minneapolis, Ms. Bryan will report directly to CEO Eve Kolakowski who owns the women’s business enterprise company.

With a career spanning over 20 years, many of which have been dedicated to the incentive, rewards, and loyalty space, Ms. Bryan is an innovative executive leader who has spearheaded some of the most successful programs in the industry. She offers deep experience in enterprise sales and channel management to Fortune 500 companies. Ms. Bryan joins Rymax from Shutterfly, a leading e-commerce brand for personalized products and custom designs, where she served as their Senior Director for Enterprise Sales. Earlier in her career, she worked at Rymax as its North Central Sales Manager.

Through the collaboration, Capital One’s rewards cardholders can redeem their rewards from a wide range of Rymax’s top-tier merchandise from popular brands such as Apple®, Dyson, Tumi, Gucci, Bose, Samsung, and Marc Jacobs.
