As a seasoned leader in the retail industry I’ve managed large teams directly and indirectly, and created multi-million dollar returns on projects. I have worked with small organizations as well as with multibillion dollar international retailers. My experience includes roles in store operations, merchandising and leadership of large scale changes in technology and proceses.I’ve worn many hats throughout my career – store manager, owner, buyer, analyst, consultant, change manager, trainer, systems director. As a result, I have developed a unique ability to influence without authority and navigate complex environments. My key skills and passion boil down to the following;►TEAMWORK - I’ve been facilitating group discussions and debates for years – I enjoy diving in and leading teams, outlining current and possible future processes.►CHANGE LEADERSHIP – has been at the heart of my ability to achieve results. I have a long history in getting an individual or team ready for a new or different approach, ►COURAGEOUS - I enjoy variety/challenges in my day to day work – bring me a list of special projects that are linked to business results and I will come to work excited and energized.►LEADERSHIP - I’m the guy that makes sense of the complex situation, keeping the troops and leaders calm, while driving the team towards the goal.►ARCHITECT - I’m the business guy that can effectively create the appropriate mix of data, process and technology to get things done. Some projects require more/less of these components to gain traction – I make that happen.I enjoy making new professional acquaintances. Reach out to me if you enjoy talking retail, large projects and how to move teams forward. If I can’t be of service – I probably know others who can meet your needs. dmcbeain@mcbeain.comSpecialties: Retail, Fresh Merchandising, Business Architecture, Strategy Mapping/Execution, Meeting Facilitation, Public Speaking, Project Leadership, Change Management
