In this position, Vidal oversees a portfolio of more than $2 million and over 60 clients while generating prospects and developing new business.
“Working with a Fortune 500 company is giving me great experience on how a company at this size operates,” says Vidal. “It’s a role I felt primed and ready for because of my Rollins education, where I learned business tactics, presentation skills, and time management. I know having such a credible college on my resume helped me get this position.”
