My current role is to oversee and manage purchasing and category teams for center store, HBA, general merchandise, and fresh departments for our growing chain of grocery and convenience stores. My department consists of Category Management, Promotional Planning, Space Planning and Store Merchandisers. Our job is to ensure we have the right assortment and pricing to meet our customers expectations. My hope through LinkedIn is to see what opportunities are out in the market for my future and what connections I can make to assist others and my team. My philosophy is to continually improve oneself and those around them; to continually grow and develop yourself and your working environment; to shoot for the highest levels of customer service and strive for perfection; to everyday work toward improving yourself and everything that you do, the rest will improve around you; to each day work to become better.
