About Heidi Morrissey:
Heidi Morrissey joined Kitchen Tune-Up in May of 2003 at the urging of her father and Kitchen Tune-Up founder, Dave Haglund. Prior to joining Kitchen Tune-Up, Heidi worked as an elementary school teacher and ran her own home-based business for 11 years when her dad convinced her that her skills could be best used for the family business.
Heidi joined Kitchen Tune-Up and worked in different areas, finally finding a home in marketing and sales, where she felt she could make dramatic transformations.
In her second year at Kitchen Tune-Up, she helped coordinate and activate the National Advertising Fund. During her third year, she helped the company undergo a full rebranding (the first in 18 years). Heidi has grown the sales and marketing departments, allowing her to get out of the day-to-day tasks and concentrate on growing and strengthening the Kitchen Tune-Up system.
After working with the Home Office for more than a decade, Heidi interacts constantly with each individual franchise partner, all of whom she knows by name. Heidi is passionate about bringing an outstanding level of assistance and guidance to each franchisee, helping to guide Kitchen Tune-Up’s reputation for regarding franchisees as “part of the family.” When she’s not working, Heidi is a Pilates teacher and certified MELT instructor. She enjoys biking with her husband, three daughters and their rescue dogs, and loves to cook and scrapbook. Her favourite type of cabinet is maple and she appreciates the simplicity of a slab door.
