Brian Ellis Email & Phone Number

I am a highly strategic planner, accomplished mentor, and trusted business partner with 15+ years of progressive achievement managing complex businesses and categories across E-commerce and US/Canada Business Channels. My success has been because I listen, ask good questions, and deliver results. I thrive in environments that have a culture of excellence, reward diversity of thought, and are mission driven. Developing talent is a passion of mine that in turn, drove my team's ability to meet our business needs. I take pride in providing honest feedback and support that inspires, challenges, and facilitates growth.The past 5 years, I successfully directed 150M+ annual business. Managing over 100 key suppliers was an integral responsibility in driving a diverse business. This included leading a high-functioning team, providing quarterly KPI metrics against supplier plans and company expectations, and guiding negotiations to maximize ROI while mitigating inventory risks. Identifying and launching new elite brands for distribution was key for growing the business. As a trusted partner of the Learning and Development department, my team was able to drive the analysis and adoption of new processes. I was nominated as a SME multiple times to engage stakeholders, generate enthusiasm, and drive new planning and analysis software and processes.
