I am a Merchandise Planning & Operations Executive with global apparel experience.
BUYING, MERCHANDISING
& PLANNING
I have lead the end-to-end concept to consumer product life cycle which has included product merchandising, working with the design team and finance teams. Guiding the wholesale & retail teams in all elements of forecasting from building a merchandise range plan to calculating manufacturing capacities and the bill of materials needed, through to creating visual line plans for retail space planning.
STRATEGIC CHANGE & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
I have been both a sponsor and key stakeholder in many transitional change projects which included collaboration between myself, business owners and consultants on new investments of upgraded and new system implementations. This has been inclusive of process mapping, best practice identification and strategy execution. With one-to-one coaching for my teams, we establish personal development plans designed to realise their career opportunities.
OMNI-CHANNEL
OPERATIONS
With a rich background in customer service & operations, my experience spans across all channels including wholesale, retail (owned & operated, full price, outlet, concession and franchise partners) and e-commerce within the premium branded sector. I have lead requests for quotations (RFQs), merged multiple warehouse facilities and partnered with both 3rd party logistics (3PLs) and joint ventures (JVs).
Great to
meet you.
Keep it
simple.
Dare to
begin.
