Protecting Publix and teaching others

Senior Loss Prevention Specialist Danielle Martinez has been with Publix for 28 years. “It’s the 1st and only place I’ve ever worked.” Danielle started her Publix career in retail and transitioned into loss prevention 17 years ago.

She was one of the 1st loss prevention auditors, starting with the pilot program in Miami. Danielle transitioned from an auditor to a loss prevention specialist and, last September, was promoted to senior loss prevention specialist. She is responsible for 3 districts.

“Our primary role is to protect the assets of the company, and no 2 days look the same,” said Danielle. “You have to be flexible.”
