I turn retail space-planning data into actionable assortment, planogram, and store-execution decisions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Whole Foods Market (Amazon), I audit planogram assignments across 545+ stores and 6,500+ SKUs, turning space and execution data into category insights for MPPs, Category Managers, and leadership.
I've built reusable Excel reporting frameworks, category insight decks, and executive audit presentations that reduced actionable issues from 28 to 6 and eliminated “Future POG Prematurely Live” errors. My work achieved a 76% store resolution rate and identified five root-cause categories across 75+ issues.
Previously, I executed national seasonal resets and floor-plan merchandising across 1,700+ Lowe’s locations while supporting the RGIS-to-PANGEA conversion. At Dollar General and Tractor Supply, I developed planograms, optimized shelf space, managed floor-plan updates, and supported enterprise system migrations.
I bring more than 10 years in retail merchandising and over six years in space planning, combining category strategy, audit analysis, and clear data storytelling to improve store execution.
