Improving margins with data driven, value-based price setting, product execution by establishing clear ownership and examining results for patterns, trends and outliers. Defining and articulating price waterfall and managing all impacts to price to dramatically improve results. Ensuring value capture by aligning process controls with business strategies.I have more than 10 years of experience in product and price management for a global manufacturer and distributor of plastic products and solutions, with extensive exposure to operational cost control management and lean six sigma.I managed several product lines, influencing cross organizational resources to exceed margin targets. This holistic approach required close coordination of finance, sourcing, operations, supply chain and commercial teams, influencing the teams without direct reporting. I also led pricing and product management teams directly (12 to 15 team members).I’m a strong proponent of data driven decision making, gaining consensus and buy in from teams and disparate functions across organizational structures. This requires not only persuasion skills, but an ability to understand different perspectives to drive good change management.I’m adept at communicating with all levels, from C level leadership to hourly employees of an organization. Great change management requires an understanding of the perspective of your audience and the ability to determine what triggers behaviors that achieve the goals of the business. My pricing and product management experience has been in a highly matrixed environment where influencing many levels across a broad organization is key to success.
