Key Strengths

  • Owned end-to-end seasonal sandals category strategy (70% store / 30% e-commerce)
  • Delivered 700,000+ pairs sold and $16.8M revenue (+22% YoY units and revenue) over a 6-month full-price period
  • Assortment optimization using core best sellers early, core color balance, and low/mid price architecture to support AUR
  • Disciplined inventory planning (buy-to-plan; add depth on key best sellers)
  • Vendor cost negotiation using SKU-level cost controls (20 SKUs; only 5 allowed to cost more YoY) and volume leverage (+10% buy) to hit targets
  • Improved SKU productivity by tightening fashion/seasonal buys and reducing WOS (12 weeks vs 16) to reduce markdown risk
  • Data-driven size curve reallocation using stock-to-sales and on-hand by size (shifted units from size 5 to size 7)
  • Led cross-functional brand repositioning/rebrand execution and managed rollout delays with contingency plans
