Meet the Team

The Mountain Mudd team is as vital to our business as any service or product we share with the coffee loving world. We pride ourselves on choosing staff members with personality and professionalism. While we can’t list all of our employees here and now, we found a few folks willing to share some personal info all in good taste!

This is Mountain Mudd and these are our stories!

 


Jackie Mota
Sales Manager

Jackie

j.mota@mountainmudd.com
(406) 294-6833 x 106

Ms. Mota has been our Sales Manager since our formation in March 2007. Ms. Mota was Sales Manager for our predecessor, Mountain Manufacturing from February 2002 to October 2006. Since 2001 Jackie has worked her way from kiosk sales to “Sales Manager” which barely describes all that she does. Jackie oversees the entire sales process involving everything to the Grand Opening and beyond. Jackie coordinates logistics for Mountain Mudd, including the huge job of state & local
permitting. She also manages the kiosk build schedules and orchestrates the state inspections, all the while ensuring that each kiosk is built to the exact specifications for the location. She is not only our expert on site plans; she also supervises the sales, franchise compliance and real estate
departments. Jackie is always available to give helpful advice and encouragement.
Jackie also often contributes using her creative side, inventively coming up with some of our best product names, including Javalua and the Freckled Leprechaun. Her daily contributions to this company are so immense, all of her responsibility and expertise would be difficult to describe, and
even then it would not do her justice.
Jackie’s drink of choice is a skinny latte with raw sugar
Her favorite stress-buster: running
First Job: Target snack bar & ironing neighbors’ shirts
What she loves about her job: Working closely with operators & building strong relationships
Favorite hobby or past time: spending time with kids

Mr. Connelly is the unsung hero in Supply & Distribution. Tom started at Mountain Mudd early in 2007, and has been ensuring speedy fulfillment of orders ever since. Tom’s love for the outdoors is obvious, depending on the season you may find him on top of a mountain with a snowboard or a fishing rod, or maybe just a back-pack. When not above “city” altitude he is either working or playing disc golf.
