Demand planning leader at Newell Brands aligning Elmer's & EXPO forecasts with brand strategy and service needs.

At Newell Brands, I own the global cross-functional demand consensus process for Elmer's & EXPO. I align demand assumptions with Brand, Finance, Supply Chain, and Trade Marketing, and build long-range plans that incorporate brand strategy.

At The Home Depot, I owned inventory and service performance across 91 vendors and 900+ SKUs. I achieved 9 consecutive weeks of 99% in-stock through forecasting, replenishment planning, and open-to-buy financial management.

At Samsung, I analyzed sales data for the Navy Exchange business and built a top-model list that raised in-stock from 30% to 90% in under 3 months. Across my planning roles, I've worked on forecasting, service performance, and inventory execution using tools including SAP, Power BI, and advanced Excel.
