Desiree Stoute Sales Manager Fogo de Chão Dunwoody Member since: November 2016

Desiree Stoute was introduced to the Georgia Chapter of MPI by her colleagues last November. She currently serves as a sales manager for Fogo de Chão Dunwoody and is responsible for identifying potential meeting planners and corporate executives in the Dunwoody market seeking space for private parties and small group meetings. While making advances in her career, Desiree has grown her time management and organizational skills; however, she would warn newcomers against prioritizing the need for approval from all of one’s colleagues… and skipping on spell check before hitting “send.”

Travel is an enjoyable pastime for Desiree and she dreams of spending time in Italy. Until her days in il bel paese, she will just have to enjoy Mexico, her next vacation destination. Desiree would also like to share the following piece of advice by Maya Angelou: “When people show you who they are, you better believe them.”
