GI Stone’s Dandamudi Talks About Importing Stone On Stone World Podcast

Stone World



Sandya Dandamudi, president of GI Stone, recently spoke with Stone World on best practices in importing stone.


Taylor Johnson clients consistently establish themselves as experts in their industries, so it only made sense for GI Stone President Sandya Dandamudi to appear as a guest on the Stone World podcast. Team TJ reached out to the producer and secured the opportunity, during which Dandamudi discussed her firm’s response to the challenges of importing stone during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also shared how GI Stone gained market share in the stone industry through new operational efficiencies and discussed the importance of workplace culture, early planning with designers in the conceptual stage and the latest trends in stone. Listen to the full episode here.
