Bio

I helm forward-looking retail organizations, advancing innovation and corporate social responsibility on a global scale. Empowering and collaborative, I devise game-changing insights and build momentum behind ambitious goals and big ideas to visibly change organizations and brands. As a trailblazer and catalyst, I bring a passion for positive change to every strategy session, partner, and opportunity. 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 — Envisioned Juniper Unlimited, the 1st multicategory marketplace for the disability community and caregivers to pursue $475B opportunity. Exceeded sales goals in 6 months, creating business case to leverage model and tech across 4 divisions. 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 + 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 — Transformed Frye to D2C, 4x ecommerce business, and cut costs 20%, leading to lucrative exit in first 3 years 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 — Leveraged internal expertise, global scale, and partner ecosystems to test global service platform, enabling partnerships with emerging brands and opportunities for rapid expansion and shared value. Between multiple stakeholders, requirements, and ambitious targets, how do I make it all of the pieces fit together? My passion for puzzles provides a great analogy. My vision is the front of the box, providing clarity for what is to come. The framework is the puzzle’s borders, anchoring the vision, enabling pieces to securely find their place, and allowing solid formation to take shape. Section by section, the pieces come together to form a cohesive, clear picture. Highlights: — Converted to platform model. Turned around brands to attract acquisition attention. (Innovation Brands) — Launched and scaled platform with adaptive, 360-degree designs. (Juniper) — 2x business after realigning with roots and revamping ecommerce. (Sean Jean) —32% CAGR, +230 gross margins, 20% category growth. (Frye) — Early adopter of omnichannel marketing. Revamped team and planning systems/processes. (Talbots) — Saved $20M+ in supply chain; restructured offshore, tech, quality, and vendors. (Liz Claiborne) I stay ahead of the curve by remaining open to new ideas and collaborations.
