Diane Nudelman’s Summary
Swag Connection is based in Portland, OR and was founded by me in early 2002. We sell custom-imprinted promotional products, business gifts, awards & apparel to companies across the US.
Our Ecoswag.com division was launched in 2009 to meet the growing demand for eco-responsible choices in our industry. We've taken the best eco-friendly products offered by our top suppliers and put them all on one easy-to-shop website.
While many of our clients find us through our websites and my blogs, most of our business is done over the phone or by email. Our clients appreciate the high level of service our team provides and we always have great suggestions to fit their needs & budget.
I invite you to visit our websites (links above) to learn more about what we do and the products we have to offer. Please feel free to contact me through LinkedIn if you would like to connect or talk with me about your company's swag needs.

Senior Loan Consultant
Mortgage Market, Inc.
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Financial Services industry)
May 1997 — March 2002 (4 years 11 months)
I used to be a mortgage broker - Mortgage Market is no longer in business but it was a big regional company with 18 branch offices in 3 states when I worked there. It was a fun business, but very stressful. With all that's happened in that industry over the past year, I feel very fortunate to have moved on!

October 1994 — April 1997 (2 years 7 months)
I began my career in the stock and investment business in 1985 with PaineWebber, moved to Charter Investment Group and last worked at Merrill Lynch's Portland office. At Merrill I was part of a team of brokers dedicated to working with high net worth clients.
In my years in the securities business I worked in many different areas, including trading, research, portfolio analysis & client service. Having a strong background in investment and finance has been extremely helpful to me as a business owner!
