I am passionate about creatively leveraging data to build something new. But without people this transformation is just a numbers exercise. Interpersonal relationships make the difference between real transformation and just analytics. Merchandising is a great example of the potential for transformation. I start with a strategic vision. Then a million details negotiated and influenced with corporate teams, among colleagues in other departments and with vendor partners delivers results that fulfill the strategic vision and thrill our customers. I am a self-starter who gets things done through people. I leverage interpersonal relationships and influence to drive sales growth, customer satisfaction, merchandising, integrated digital marketing, product assortment strategy, financial results, supply chain operations, procurement and pricing strategies for large product market portfolios with proven cost savings and revenue improvement in high volume, fast, matrixed environment… through people. I determine the long term customer-centric product and services assortment strategy our customers need, who to buy it from, how to market it, how to sell it, where to position it, how to resource it, and how to price it… through people.
