What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead supply chain and merchandise planning transformation, building data-driven forecasting, inventory, and retail planning capabilities that improve availability, turnover, and margins.

I've spent 17+ years improving merchandise planning, demand strategy, and end-to-end supply chain operations across fashion and apparel. At Algo, I partner with global retail brands to redesign assortment and replenishment workflows, increasing in-stock rates by 4% across 4,000+ stores.

I've led planning and supply chain teams at Engine Clothing, US Apparel, SEFAM (Leisure Club), CrossRoads, and Servis Shoes. My work has improved first-quality sales by 3%, increased core product availability by 50%, grown category footprint by 200%, and lifted gross sales by 16%.

I turn legacy planning processes into data-driven platforms that connect merchandising, operations, and supply chain teams. I focus on stronger forecasting, healthier inventory, faster turnover, protected margins, and better product availability.
