I manage promotional merchandise programs from sourcing and quotations through production, fulfillment, and final delivery. As an independent program and brand manager, I coordinate suppliers, budgets, quality, logistics, and deadlines.
In my consulting work, I manage long-term corporate merchandise programs and develop pricing and production strategies to protect margins. I also build project trackers to monitor costs, approvals, production timelines, and profitability.
At Top Banana Promotions, I managed programs representing $800K-$1M in annual revenue for clients including PayPal, General Electric, Apple Vacations, Tri-Pointe Homes, and Caesars Entertainment. I coordinated product development, artwork approvals, production, inventory, and delivery.
I’ve sourced custom merchandise through domestic and international suppliers and worked across apparel, hard goods, and nontraditional products. My work includes managing specifications, samples, brand compliance, and quality issues through final production.
