Managed the $200M Fitness Technology and Water Bottle/Hydration categories. I was ultimately responsible for identifying merchandising and distribution opportunities by analyzing consumer and category data to drive category growth for the online and in-store sales channels.

I developed a product life-cycle forecast model that would maximize overall category profitability.
