I’ve held many roles over the course of my professional life, including positions in purchasing, merchandising, and a role as an entrepreneur/small business owner. Yet at its core, my career is defined by the constant of delivering superior results for both customers and business partners. I’ve managed all facets of both large- and small-scale projects—from buy-in and adoption to implementation and execution. I approach my job with two goals in mind—excellence and success. Today’s retail landscape is changing rapidly and dramatically, driven by external forces—consumers are becoming far more informed, and product choices have rapidly proliferated. Advances in technology contribute to new flows of information, knowledge, and resources. Brands that wish to remain competitive will need to not merely respond to these challenges, but also to anticipate them. Most recently engaged with Nike, I managed efforts associated with a critical $50M project to develop and deploy the direct price management, domain, and optimization product across North America, China, and Europe. I also optimized the online shopping experience by deploying a new pricing tool across multiple channels to increase revenues by $200M over 5 years. I am now eager to bring my skills, experience, and leadership to a dynamic and growing organization.
