In leading my own sales and marketing firm, I partner with clients in the technology and retail industries to set them up for ongoing success. With INTENT, I now thoroughly enjoy understanding what the business owner wants to accomplish and guiding them toward that customized marketing solution in a highly consultative manner.To implement our customized plans, I am certified as a Duct Tape Marketing consultant and coach to install a complete marketing system incorporating strategy, content, SEO, e-mail marketing, social media, and reputation management.

Symphony Retail enabled me to accomplish the rare feat of serving as both a product manager and in charge of implementation. I led or impacted teams in all areas of marketing, sales, operations, and project management – from the initial design phase to managing teams, training end-users, and overseeing project timelines.I led the first successful implementation of our AutoCAD-based, cloud-delivered Macro Space Planning software for the company’s largest client, Albertsons. I also oversaw the development and implementation of the company’s flagship Macro Space Planning Applications. These floor planning tools were designed to help companies maintain and optimize their retail store space.

Launched the operations of North American headquarters in Jacksonville, FL for Fifth Dimension based in the U.K. prior to its purchase by Symphony. As such, I was client-facing, serving as the go-between for clients and developers.I guided the development team and led the implementation of new enterprise-wide software products for Winn-Dixie (SEG), A&P Tea, WinCo Foods, Dixons Carphone, and Albertsons. I was seen as a subject matter expert for StorePlanHQ™, StoreNet™, and StoreMapper™, our macro space applications allowing our customers to capture and maintain accurate floor plans for the entire chain.

As a data-driven leader who could provide insights for the retailer, I leveraged my knowledge of category management and space planning software to solve space management and data processing challenges. This deep understanding from my background had many positive outcomes – namely, guiding clients through multi-million-dollar, enterprise-level Implementations by understanding category management goals, incorporating those plans into our software, and helping them map their future. For example, I led Winn-Dixie through the implementation and integration of Apollo Total Store into their existing product category management process.
