My natural curiosity with how companies operate and succeed has guided me through career choices where I have served from store level to Vice President. It is a thrill to get out of my comfort zone to learn a new business and solve complex challenges, while stretching my skills and capabilities.In working with highly entrepreneurial, privately owned companies to the national brands, I have revitalized several under-performing businesses and implemented chain wide sales and operational strategies. It’s where I have learned to navigate through organizations and influence partnerships to get things accomplished.Bringing ideas to life, from concept to reality, is my motivating skill and has propelled significant change in my organizations. Achieving that comes from a highly enthusiastic leadership style, where the power of culture inspires others to become invested in and rewarded for delivering on the promise of our brand. But the reality of business requires we hit our sales and profit goals, for which companies have relied on me to do just that, with resiliency, flexibility and a good sense of humor. I welcome exploratory conversations on my background, the vision of my career and how I can grow your brand. I am flexible with relocation throughout most of the country.CORE COMPETENCIESStore Operations | Customer Service | Selling Programs | Field Communications | Merchandise Execution | Field Marketing | Business Strategy | Business Revitalization | Retention and Recognition Programs | Performance Management | Leadership Development | Operational Process and Productivity Improvement | Organization Design and Staffing | Expense Management | Shortage Reduction | Project Management
