What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead multi-unit operational execution with KPI-driven rigor, develop leaders through workforce planning and succession, and apply process governance/change management skills to deliver measurable sales and profitability improvements.

I’m a multi-unit retail operations leader with 20+ years of progressive experience driving sales performance, profitability, and workforce development across district and regional territories. I own P&L performance, build KPI-driven operating rhythms, and coach leaders to execute with accountability.

As a District Manager, I delivered sustained comparable sales growth of 3%–6% and increased district EBITDA by 8.6% through operational efficiency, workforce optimization, and expense management. I partner with Human Resources and senior leadership to strengthen retention, employee engagement, leadership development, and succession planning, using business analytics to spot gaps and drive corrective action plans.

Recently, I’ve added enterprise process and technology change expertise as an IT Project Manager, selected to lead cross-functional initiatives across Loss Prevention, Operations, HR, and Executive Leadership. I build governance, reporting, and change management processes that drive adoption of new tools and workflows, including standardized onboarding/offboarding workflows that reduce administrative overhead and improve consistency—skills I bring back to district execution.
