What I'm looking for

I’m open to international relocation and remote domain execution. I’m looking to lead data-driven merchandising strategy, critical-path vendor operations, and digital workflow improvements—delivering margin growth, stronger on-time delivery, and compliant, design-led assortments.

I’m an analytical, strategy-driven senior merchandising manager with 13+ years optimizing cross-functional product lifecycles, global vendor portfolios, and international consumer brand accounts worth $700K+ annually. I focus on turning retail performance insights and consumer market trends into curated assortments that protect premium standards while improving results.

In my most recent roles, I’ve led end-to-end critical path execution (T&A), milestone management, and SKU productivity analysis—translating design intent into supply-chain realities. Through value engineering and strategic vendor price structuring, I’ve helped deliver 12% gross margin improvement, and I’ve used seasonal retail signals to expand product development, scaling order volume by 15% across key accounts.

I also bring strong operational leadership: I orchestrate daily workflows across production, design/QA, and forwarder logistics to mitigate supply chain risks and consistently target an 85% on-time delivery rate. From lifecycle sample development and gold-seal compliance to authoring SOPs and running digital workflow automation, I’m at my best bridging teams, systems, and execution so brands launch smoothly and perform financially.
