I have 24+ years of experience within the Retail Business, I have had an opportunity to work in different management and leadership positions. One of my primary goals has always been to deliver optimal output through the application of my competencies in all aspects of Strategic Business, Marketing and Sales Planning; Product Introduction and Life Cycle Management; P&L Management as well as Cross Functional Team Management.I strongly believe in managing business by placing right people at right place without compromising the "will to do attitude factor" in individuals. Employee's favorable engagement with peers, subordinates and supervisors is extremely important in the business and that's the rule i have been practicing to attain success. Working in team and with team is one of my greatest strength. I love to work under pressure and take challenges to transform the worst situations of business into best ones by developing and enabling teams to retain the standout position.
