This little bit of news probably doesn’t mean much to a lot of people, but I think it’s important to recognize that Omar de Frias started the Fratello brand in 2013 while still working full time for NASA, hit the ground running making a great cigar, getting it in front of a lot of people in a short amount of time, hitting the road Rocky Patel style selling it at great personal expense (and I’m talking time away from family expense), and has grown to the point where he’s adding even more headcount! A great success story, and if I were a sales guy, I’d be hitting Omar up for a job! Keep rocking, Omar and crew!
Omar de Frias is proud to announce the hiring of Shannon Strang as the new Director of Operations for Fratello Cigars. The Pittsburgh native comes to Fratello with a wealth of experience in accounting, business development, logistics and customer service.
