I enjoy working closely and creatively across the merchandise, marketing and operations teams to drive sales.I've been successful in Buying and Category Management for the past 12 years in Petrol & Convenience, Pharmacy and Supermarkets. Throughout this time I've built great relationships with individuals and brands and it's provided an outstanding opportunity to work across a diverse range of categories from telecommunications, snacks, ice cream, wound care, cosmetics, vitamins, as well as specializing in local food brands. This exciting category spread has offered me wonderful opportunities to excel in stakeholder management, negotiation, key account planning, and apply my strong commercial acumen.Prior to Category Management I've coordinated promotional programs, lead a national team of merchandisers, run training workshops for franchisees, managed the distribution of rebates for a buying group and worked in operations as an area manager in both a company operated and franchise role. I always achieve, I work collaboratively, and I manage it as if I own it.Thank you for connecting.Phil
