Bruce Firth Email & Phone Number

I am a Retail Industry professional with deep expertise in the development and application of retail technology. My expertise was gained by working with, and in support of, Walmart Stores, Inc. over the last 25 years. I have a generalist’s background with experience in Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting, Logistics, and Advanced POS Data Analytics.Most recently, I’ve had the opportunity to focus specifically on the application of long range weather forecasts in the annual business planning and execution cycle. I’ve been working with many companies around the globe to help them leverage this information in their business. The concept is catching on and I hope that one day all Retail and CPG Companies will be able to plug the "weather piece" into their decision making processes.Prior to life in Bentonville, I worked with Wakefern Food Corporation (Shop Rite Supermarkets) in Elizabeth, NJ from 1981 to 1991. Here I served as procurement Analyst for the grocery division among other retail positions.Specialties: Shopper Insights, Data Mining and advanced analytics, Forecasting, Capital and Expense Budgeting, People Development, Supply Chain and Logistics systems analysis and design

Listed skills include Forecasting, Analytics, Management, Retail, and 31 others.
