I am an operations and inventory management specialist with a career spanning more than 25 years across retail and eCommerce in a variety of industries. Over the years, I have developed a reputation for improving efficiency, profitability, and cash flow through practical, data-driven solutions that promote business strategies through both home-grown tools and system configurations.

My recent experience includes leading the development and implementation of large-scale solutions at lululemon and DemandTec to optimize planning, inventory, and merchandise pricing. At The North Face, I addressed large-scale digital technology initiatives, such as a multimillion-dollar omni-channel project that optimized fulfillment and achieved full ROI in less than two years. During this time, I gained valuable experience in both store and eCommerce operations.  Before that, I led forecasting for apparel at The North Face. Earlier in my career, I oversaw merchandise and inventory planning for home décor, jewelry, and food gift baskets at the eCommerce retailer RedEnvelope.com, reducing inventory by 28% and increasing turns by 42% while maintaining a high fill rate. I began my career in publishing with Harcourt Trade, where I managed forecasting, vendor relations, and a multimillion-dollar inventory budget—creating predictive models that increased turns by nearly 20%, raised fill rates, and reduced overall inventory.

After years of helping global brands solve complex operational challenges, I decided to shift my focus. I recognized how many smaller businesses face the same issues—overstock, inefficient purchasing, limited visibility—but without the resources or expertise to address them. Through my consulting practice, I now work directly with business owners to streamline operations, balance inventory with demand, and strengthen the foundations and technology that drive sustainable growth and contribute to healthy cash flow.
