With over 22 years of experience in industrial engineering, process improvement, and strategy, I am a senior transformation initiative manager at REI, a leading outdoor retailer. I drive the retail three-year strategy plan, annual business planning, and monthly initiative reviews by converting strategy into outcomes. I consult enterprise leadership with a focus on four-wall and e-commerce retail transformation, enabling REI to achieve its mission of inspiring, educating, and outfitting its members and the community for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and stewardship.Before joining REI, I was a senior program manager of advertising at Amazon, where I delivered customer-facing self-service tools, creative asset management, and workflow solutions for the advertising business. I also reduced credit and rebill errors and cost savings by applying my expertise in agile methodologies, change management, and continuous improvement. I am passionate about solving complex puzzles, connecting people, processes, and systems, and practicing Nemawashi, the Japanese art of building consensus and collaboration. I am a mentor, a speaker, and a lifelong learner who strives for excellence and innovation.Agile Methodologies | Budgeting | Business Cases | Operating Models | Change Management | ADKAR Methodologies | Continuous Improvements | ROI | Cost Savings | CSCMP Training | Customer Focus | Strategic Brand Initiatives | Distributor Order Management | Gartner Member | Global Functional Resource Coverage Strategies | Industrial Engineering | KPIs / Benchmarks / Metrics | Inventory Management | Carrying Cost Reduction | Priority Setting | Process Flow Mapping | Product Ownership | Project Management | Prosci Management / Change Management | Robotic Process Automation (RPA) | Sales Order Optimization| Speaker | SIPOC Mapping | Lean Six Sigma / Scrum / Lean / Waterfall Methodologies | Strategy & Execution | Supply Chain Analytics | Technical Testing (including Regression Testing) | Matrixed Environments | Cross-Functional Partnerships | Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) | Lean Six Sigma | Product Management | Automation | SaaS | End to end planning transformation strategy and execution
