Through Advantage\u2019s unrivaled reach and scale, Torres has worked with some of the largest retailers in the U.S. as he\u2019s climbed the rungs of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I talk about my story here at Advantage and SAS, I love to say how \u2018not special\u2019 my story is, if that makes any sense,\u201d Torres says. \u201cMine is not a one-in-a-million story and I\u2019m proud to say that many if not all of my counterparts at the VP level have had a similar journey.
