In Your Image Consulting was built in 2018 by Heather Haas.
She started looking at brand management under a new lens in how both vendors and brokers go about managing the business of selling to Kroger. IYI was born over a lunch Heather had with a couple of friends also in the Kroger business. The discussion centered around not only doing business with integrity, but also how the needs of vendors have changed regarding doing business with the Kroger Company.
She noticed that there were many vendors that were desperately in need of assistance in getting through the many confusing levels of being a supplier to Kroger, but they were not getting the customer service they should be from the brokerage companies out there currently. Then one trusted friend stated, "You need to start your own company and do it in your image."
