I am an entrepreneurial and customer-obsessed product manager with excellent business judgment and a consistent record of growing sales and profits with analytics, innovative business strategies, and amazing follow-through.I am ideally suited for a role that needs an inspiring leader to grow, turn around, or launch a new business, develop profitable long-term supplier relationships, build high-functioning intradepartmental or cross-functional teams, and develop creative and customer-focused products and marketing.I succeed in ambiguous situations with little defined structure, supervision, or feedback and consistently bring order to chaos. I specialize in deal making, solving complex problems, coaching others for growth, and bringing amazing products to customers to enrich their lives and grow my businesses.I work hard, but keep things in perspective and balance my laser-focus with emotional intelligence and a great sense of humor.I love and believe in:GREAT PRODUCTS: I have spent my career connecting companies to their customers through great products, in a wide range of product categories. I have incredible instincts for customer wants and needs, and I have the analytical skills to back them up. In roles encompassing product development, sourcing, buying, planning, and sales, I have driven revenue and profit growth by successfully answering "What do our customers want, and how do we get it to them better, faster, and more profitably than ever before?"GREAT PEOPLE: Besides product, my other passion has been driving results through people: team-building, developing talent, and cultivating long-term relationships with partners inside and outside of my organizations. People make the difference, and I take my role as a leader, mentor, and partner very seriously.RELEVANT SKILLS AND EXPERTISE:Technological Expertise:‣ SQL and Tableau‣ Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook; Canva, Prezi, Powtoon, Adobe: Spark, Audition, Premiere ProLeadership and Management:‣ Strategy Formulation and Execution‣ Project Management‣ Process Improvement ‣ Assortment Planning‣ Branded and Private Label Product Management‣ Inventory Management‣ Sales, Markup, Markdown, and Gross Margin management‣ Profit and Loss (P&L) Ownership‣ Negotiation‣ Vendor Partnerships and Relationships‣ Marketing Strategy‣ Market Trend Analysis‣ Forecasting business trends‣ Data Analysis‣ Product Development & Sourcing‣ User Experience (U/X)‣ Problem Solving‣ Managing and Developing Teams‣ Cross-functional Team Leadership‣ Conflict Resolution
