ABOUT

Today’s consumers have more options than ever, and their expectations of brands continue to grow. Throughout my retail buying and merchandising career, I have delivered significant business results for market leaders and emerging brands by enabling them to be more agile, future-focused, and able to adapt to market changes. I deliver the most value in leadership roles where I can make an impact on the entire merchandising operation, sharing new ideas and using data to drive business strategies.

With a passion for the off-price market, I have been the driving force behind significant growth across multiple apparel and accessories categories. I build successful, on trend assortments by always learning, peeking around the corner to see what is coming next, and sparking innovation by asking my teams, “if we had no limitations, what might we explore next?”.

I’m an inclusive leader known for transparency, candid feedback, humility, and mutual respect. Action-oriented and driven to excel, I roll up my sleeves and get things done. I encourage my teams to stretch beyond their comfort zone and embrace new ways of thinking. We hold frequent roundtables for open discussion and healthy debate. I coach my people to help them develop personally and professionally, and deeply value the relationships I’ve built over the years.

People say I have a magnetic personality and that my excitement is contagious. All I know is that I love inspiring and energizing teams and never have problems connecting with people even when we don’t have anything in common. My passion is balanced by levelheadedness and strong business acumen. I speak up when something needs to be addressed but at the same time can disengage to calmly resolve conflict.

The post-pandemic shopper is changing the face of retail, and I help organizations evolve to remain competitive. Being the go-to brand requires focusing on our core customer, data-driven product strategies, and delivering a high-value customer experience every time. By testing and learning, that’s what I empower my merchandising teams to execute.
