What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hybrid or remote opportunity to drive growth across buying, design, merchandising, or global sourcing, using quick-to-market execution, supplier relationships, and strategic assortment planning.

I've driven sourcing, buying, and merchandising strategies for a $150M+ annual business at The TJX Companies across furniture, home décor, gourmet food, and ladies' apparel. I build value-priced, unique assortments that create a “thrill of the find” while meeting inventory-turnover targets.

I have built and led strategic partnerships with more than 100 global manufacturers, sourcing offices, and vendor organizations across North America, Europe, India, China, Vietnam, and Mexico to identify trend-right products, negotiate commercial terms, strengthen supplier relationships, and deliver differentiated home assortments from early stage to nation wide scale.

I'm seeking hybrid or remote opportunities across category buying, product development, merchandising, or global sourcing.
