What I'm looking for

I seek a role that empowers me to drive strategic initiatives and foster team development in a collaborative environment.

I am a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in strategic leadership, product management, and process development, primarily within the retail sector. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving efficiency and innovation, particularly in merchandising and supply chain management. At The Home Depot, I successfully reshaped the Store Planning Department, leading initiatives that resulted in significant cost savings and improved productivity.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to integrate technology with business processes, exemplified by my role as the product owner of SPARTA, which delivered over $34 million in savings. My leadership style emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, enabling teams to thrive while achieving organizational goals. I am passionate about leveraging data analytics to inform decision-making and enhance operational effectiveness.
