In my roles, I’ve rebuilt departments from the ground up, implementing inventory systems, vendor relationships, and workflows that eliminated stock shortages and improved sales. I’ve also led openings from scratch, managed permits and compliance, and coached teams of up to 32, while delivering measurable wins like improving business efficiency by 10% and reducing customer complaints by 15%.
