I drive a team of individuals (Domestic & International Employees) to pursue insights regarding the new business segment in analytics, planning/forecasting, sales enablement, vendor targeting strategy and lead generation processes, frequently collaborating with C-Suite over organizational strategy. Through this unique team that I self-created, I've developed the 2023 new business segment plan, work force model for the broader division, and weekly KPI tracking and forecasting. I've also been empowered to create and iterate our vendor targeting strategy and practices, leading to greater organizational and outbound sales efficiencies, as well as an enhanced employee experience from a Business Development lens.

I self-started our analytics sub-department through incremental insights provided and garnishing trust of leadership through accuracy, while displaying the need and benefits of additional insight focused individuals. I solely developed all 2022 & 2023 Acquisition Modelling including weekly Workforce Planning for the division, and tracking against our modelling with weekly precision and granularity, down to the role, performance expectations. I am overseeing our Lead Generation Process, significantly improving our databases speaking to each other and implementing a new prioritization methodology using analytic insights. I enjoy collaborating frequently with department leaders to tackle roadblocks and data needs, while enabling them to have needed information at their hands to action from and drive our division forward.

I had the opportunity to work onsite at Walmart eCommerce's KS1 Fulfillment Center amidst the Covid-19 Global Pandemic. Upon beginning this role, I was very hands on with all Inbound functions and creating plans to solve for record inbound volume and major capacity constraints. Within a few weeks, this quickly turned into nearly no inbound volume and solving/collaborating to avoid the layoff of staff while ensuring the ability to work efficiently for the business. Gained unique insight leading a team of 5 managers with more combined managerial experience than years I was old, and gained the team's buy-in through a humble and eager-to-learn approach.About halfway through the internship, I turned my focus to a Summer Project regarding Forecasting Capacity and Peak Season Forecasting. Prior to my arrival, the facility had a very narrow forecast which did not allow for ample planning time. By the end of my project, I extended the forecast out to 13 weeks, using many different SQL queries, Tableau dashboards, and compiling other miscellaneous data. Additionally, I was able to find ample historical data to base a 2020 peak season forecast. Through this tool, I created 22 unique inputs that could be adjusted, and once adjusted, showed the updated capacity remaining throughout the facility, showed staffing needs across the building, among other notable benefits. I was able to create this tool and adapt it throughout Walmart's Network during my internship through ample collaboration for precise data and understanding different fulfillment center needs.

I also trained senior members in inventory liquidation in order to ensure follow-through and thorough understanding of the process in order to keep momentum.I collaborated on Tier 1 vendor market research and opening orders, with a potential of $100M revenue annually from their products. Through this market research, I was able to work with a team of Vendor Managers to create multiple new partnerships and first orders while enhancing prior vendor relationships. Additionally, I collaborated on 2 projects for software optimization to be created and implemented to reduce the hours necessary for peers to complete tasks and increase overall efficiency.
