I am a Results-oriented leader with a proven history of defining business goals, establishing priorities, and ensuring seamless execution within both the Brand and Retail sectors. Develop strategic initiatives and foster meaningful relationships to enhance brand awareness, drive adoption, boost sales and cultivate heightened customer affinity. Proficient in cultivating a high-performance, inclusive culture through strategic team development and growth initiatives. Acknowledged as an entrepreneurial leader, recognized for a complement of analytical skills, creative thinking, market knowledge, cross-functional collaboration and a commitment to superior customer service. Most recently as a part of the North American leadership team at ON, I served as the Head of US Accounts on the Sales team. The initial sales team of 4 grew to 42 in 2 years, all while making ON the fastest growing sportswear brand in the US. Transforming how we worked and who we worked with positioned the brand to be a leader in product, people, technology and how we told the story. Prior to joining ON, I served as Vice President/Divisional Merchandising Manager at Nordstrom (Men's/Active/Kids Shoes), where I led a high performing team of 8 direct reports to scale growth and profitability for this iconic retailer. Having had a foot in both the retail, wholesale and DTC markets, I bring a unique and seasoned eye to the new age of commerce and customer engagement. I am excited to share my enthusiasm and expertise with a growing and disruptive organization.
