As a Senior Category Manager at Zulily, I leverage my 15+ years of experience in consumer brand management, product strategy, and go-to-market planning to deliver category programs that align with the company's vision, goals, and capabilities. I am a driven self-starter who thrives in fast-paced and dynamic environments, and who consistently delivers high results and exceeds expectations.I have expertise in consumables, apparel, and health/beauty care categories, having worked with leading retailers such as Starbucks, Walgreens, and Safeway and suppliers such as J&J, Mondelez, Kraft Heinz, P&G, PepsiCo and others. I have successfully commercialized and launched new products, managed inventory and supply chain, mitigated risks, and optimized processes. I have also created strategies for emerging categories and sourced brands to flesh out strategy and developed strong relationships with vendors, partners, and cross-functional teams, and have effectively influenced and directed project teams. I am naturally curious and continually striving to improve myself and my work. I am passionate about creating value and delight for customers and stakeholders.
