As a Merchandise Planning Manager at VS&Co, I apply my MBA and over ten years of retail experience to manage the financial business strategy for key segments across 70+ countries. I have a proven track record of driving revenue growth, optimizing margin performance, and fostering cross-functional collaboration within the retail sector.I excel in devising and executing high-impact strategies that leverage market data, consumer behavior, and emerging trends. At VS&Co, I spearheaded initiatives that generated significant revenue milestones. I also introduced innovative analysis tools, pricing strategies, and inventory management solutions that enhanced operational efficiency and reduced risk. Previously, at L'Oréal and Saks, I successfully forecasted and achieved sales targets for multi-door, multi-million businesses, facilitated the expansion of key accounts, and managed shipment logistics.My passion for driving organizational excellence is complemented by my effective communication, mentorship, and leadership skills. I cultivate collaborative environments where team members are empowered to thrive and contribute to the shared vision and goals. I am always eager to learn from and connect with industry experts and peers, and to leverage LinkedIn as a platform for networking and knowledge sharing.Let's chat!
