Prior to joining Core Brands, Harris was at Enphase Energy, a leader in solar micro-inverter solutions, where she led a team of customer support engineers and built the company’s customer advocacy discipline. Before Enphase, she led the technical support, customer service and technical editing teams at Business Objects, the respected business intelligence software and services provider. “I’m excited to be leading the technical support team at Core Brands,” Harris said. “The team is fully focused on providing exceptional support and solutions to our many customers.”
