What I'm looking for

I'm looking to bring my commercial insight and analytical expertise to my next role, using data to shape commercial decisions and balance customer value with business performance.

At Ralph Lauren, I developed demand forecasts and annual financial plans for Menswear across EMEA. My analysis of pricing, customer demand and inventory supported commercial decisions and contributed to a 12% year-on-year increase in profit.

I built and enhanced reporting tools and dashboards, and led pricing analysis using historical sales data, regression modelling and customer demand response. I also led planning system enhancements and process improvements.

As Merchandise Planner at Ralph Lauren, I supported SAP implementation across Europe, including testing, process changes, training and user adoption. Earlier, my analysis as Associate Planner contributed to a 15% increase in Womenswear sales.

I'm now independently operating Sprig & Spark, a live e-commerce business for screen-free baking and creative activity boxes. I used customer behaviour data and market comparison to move from subscriptions to one-off purchases, and I'm continuing to build my analytical skills through Power BI certification and training in SQL and Python.
