Senior eCommerce merchandising leader driving growth through product, UX, and data-driven strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior eCommerce merchandising leader with extensive experience building assortments, taxonomy, and site experiences that drive significant top-line growth and operational efficiency. I have led initiatives that supported nearly $100M in company growth, launched new verticals and subscription offerings, and reduced inventory liability while improving conversion and engagement.
I partner cross-functionally with product, marketing, CX, creative and development teams to execute merchandising strategy, CRO testing, and replatforms that increase transactions and reduce customer inquiries. I focus on measurable impact—SKU rationalization, financial modeling, and site enhancements—that scale teams and deliver repeatable results.
