Webshots publishes four new professional photos every day! You can find them on the professional photos homepage in the main carousel with the "daily" tab on them. The first two are only for our Premium members, the next two are free, and the last is a selection from our collection of over 4,000 photos-just in case you missed it. If you're looking for the archive, we've made a handy link called Previous Daily Photos right on the homepage. We're working on a fix so that the page will automatically sort by newest, but you can also order the photos by highest rated, top downloaded and Premium.

After spending the first half of my career as a corporate lawyer, I shifted into a business executive role after helping Winn-Dixie Stores through bankruptcy. Becoming the COO of the 500-store grocery chain, I was responsible for operations and corporate strategy development. The next portion of my career was spent as the CEO of various retail and consumer products companies; most recently, I served as the CEO of The Fresh Market. I implemented four important pillars when I led The Fresh Market; passion, excellence, teamwork, and hospitality, and I used them to run and manage my team and the organization successfully. In my career, I had the opportunity to learn leadership from iconic CEO’s, including Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank at The Home Depot and Peter Lynch at Winn-Dixie. Throughout my time as a CEO, I understood the power of a team and how beneficial it can be to have the right people within the organization. The sum is more significant than its parts and developing strong teams and strong leaders makes for a strong organization. Using my experience as a retail and consumer products industry CEO, I help other CEOs and business owners achieve meaningful growth and leadership excellence. I do that as a corporate board member by helping CEOs and their organizations with operations and strategic development. And I do that as a Vistage Chair, where I mentor CEOs and facilitate constructive conversation to accelerate leaders. Having a coach and mentor in your career that you can talk to freely is invaluable to a CEO. My members are high-performing and high-integrity leaders eager to grow, hold each other accountable and challenge each other. I am active in several non-profit organizations which allows me to give back to my community and I enjoy playing pickleball and traveling.
