@ntokozodineophore
I build profitable retail categories through sourcing, range strategy, and negotiation.
What I'm looking for
I've led profitable footwear, accessories, homeware, and textiles portfolios across Shoe City, The Hub, Mr Price Home, Timberland, and Edgars. My work combines full P&L ownership, range architecture, supplier sourcing, and commercial negotiation.
At Shoe City, I owned the product roadmap for high-volume Footwear, Accessories, and Character assortments, delivering gross profit and sales margin targets while coordinating launches with QA, licensing, design, supply chain, and marketing teams.
I've built supplier relationships across South Africa and international markets, developed private-label ranges, and used sell-through, market, and digital customer data to improve assortments, e-commerce performance, and campaign ROI. I'm also expanding my commercial perspective through Brand Management and Digital Marketing studies.
