Jay Pandya, former General Manager of RAM will bring his operational expertise on both the practical and analytical level to Karnan Associates. "I've seen Jay in action, he has a knack for identifying business leaks and plugging them up. He continuously looks for a bet- ter way," says Karnan.

Last year, KA added a division, Future Track, which offers more in-depth services for selected retail stores committed to collaboration and long-term sustainability for their local business and the specialty running channel. "Store owners often tell me that finding, develop- ing, and keeping talent is one of the greatest needs for their business. We need to make sure that our team meets these needs for our clients and Future Track retailers. Midge's track record and passion for developing people and Jay's game-time problem solving ability will have a positive impact on our industry," says Karnan. n Karnan Associates Strengthens Team Run specialty retail consultant Parker Karnan has added to his staff.
