By building great partnerships, I’m able to engage cross functional alignment on company challenges, address process improvements and consistently attain higher business results.At Lee Jeans, I built a pricing model that guided teams on how to address rising costs and new product launches. This model raised focus on company level targets and de-emphasized functional (silo) objectives, thus raising profitability. It was built through collaboration with Finance, Sales and Product teams.While at Kohl's, I worked with Logistics, IT and Merchants to shorten fulfillment times and costs, by delivering advanced analytics and strategies to support rapid E-commerce growth. Complex demand & flow strategies by location and across time, were implemented to insure in-stock and rapid fulfillment. I’ve worked in retail, wholesale and manufacturing companies as well as in E-commerce and International channels. My experiences are diverse with roles in Operations, Merchandising, Sales and Finance, while partnering closely with IT, Marketing, Logistics and HR. My experiences are focused in business strategy & transformation, planning, forecasting, inventory management & profit growth.
