“Once again, we’re bridging the gap between manufacturer, distributor, and eventual end-users,” exclaimed Steve Marantette, SMI CEO and founder. “Lara is the quintessential hire because of her diversified background in quality assurance, purchasing, and sales. She will bring a distinctive skill set to our customer base and future prospects.”

A 2008 graduate of the University of Phoenix, where she earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Management, Bova’s professional experience includes terms at MeriCal and Barrington Nutritionals.

“My years of experience, particularly the manufacturing knowledge I gained while at MeriCal, has prepared me for this extraordinary opportunity at SMI,” Bova said. “Moreover, all customers ultimately count on expert assistance, advanced product knowledge, and value-added price points, so it’s my pledge to deliver superior account management that the marketplace has come to expect.” 

Residing in the Temecula Valley, CA, Bova and her husband enjoy their time together with friends, family, and especially their toddler daughter. In her spare time away from the office, she also participates in CrossFit and extreme events such as Tough Mudder and Spartan Races.

“Lara’s mission is to support the growth and success of our clients,” Marantette concluded. “What more could we ask of a valued colleague? She is a well-liked sales executive that has dedicated herself to offer advanced technical support, exceptional customer service, and, the SMI x-factor, tangible integrity.”
