Betsy Tuohy is a Manager, Inventory Management, Banana Republic at Gap, Inc. at Banana Republic. She possess expertise in retail, inventory management, sales, inventory control, strategy and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I was fortunate enough to have Betsy as part of my planning team at Borders. In my short time working with Betsy, she quickly proved herself as an outstanding planner who was always on top of her business. She took an active approach with her merchant partners to ensure that no detail was overlooked and that all necessary measures had been covered to drive her business. Betsy has a bright future ahead of her and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented individual who can produce results.", "I had the distinct pleasure of working with Betsy for several months during which time there was a lot of change happening within her area of responsibility. Betsy's exceptional organization and planning skills brought calm to that atmosphere and, even though the product was more risky than the norm, a sense of security in knowing that there were contingency plans in place if the business didn't happen the way we'd thought. Betsy is passionate about doing the right thing for her business, is not afraid to take calculated risks and represents a refreshingly candid and different point of view coming from a collection of retail experiences.", and "I had the pleasure of having Betsy as a planner on my team, reporting to me from May 2009 until July 2010. We were creating a new category, Trend Gifts, pulling product lines from other areas and expanding our selection of Licensed items. Because we were taking small parts of other businesses and creating new ones, we had very little process in place and even less reporting. Betsy immediately jumped in and quickly put a process together and created reports that went beyond our expectations. Over the course of the next 12 months, Betsy was instrumental in driving the business to achieve nearly $21 million in sales – growth of over 25% in the third and fourth quarters to the previous year. She was critical in the management of our inventory, and came to the table each week prepared to speak to her business and make recommendations for promotions or markdowns. Additionally, Betsy was a driving force in developing a clearance strategy and process that the entire company is now using. Betsy is a self-starter, a common-sense, forward-thinker and an organizational whiz. She has a positive attitude and rarely encounters any obstacle that she can’t surmount. Betsy was my go-to person, and I find myself at a loss without her. I have no doubt that she will make an excellent addition to any team!
