What I'm looking for

I'm interested in bringing my footwear buying experience and strategic account management background to KEEN, where I can contribute to partner relationships, business development, and forecasting.

At ROBERSON INSURANCE GROUP, I manage a seven-figure commercial client portfolio and maintain approximately 85% client retention through proactive relationship management and strategic account stewardship. I analyze market conditions, pricing, and business objectives to develop recommendations, and lead business reviews, presentations, and renewal strategies.

At ORIENT EXPRESSED, I led buying and merchandising across children's footwear and apparel, using sales trends, customer demand, inventory performance, and budget targets to develop seasonal assortments. I also collaborated with designers and suppliers on private-label product development, launches, and merchandising initiatives.
