Executive Overview
As the President and Chief Merchandising Officer in a growing, off-price retailer who enjoys building and leading a strong team, I provide strategic vision for our highly inspired team of merchant, planning, allocation, marketing and strategy teams. Throughout my career in retail, I’ve placed great focus on developing the talent around me and establishing strong partnerships in the vendor community. In my past, I’ve been successful growing sales and gross margin by developing and executing winning strategies, while also improving product turnover. We accomplished this through innovative sourcing and buying methods, deep analysis of customer and product trends, and partnerships across all areas of our company. At Burlington we have a strong foundation of driving sales through partnerships with our vendors and collaborate frequently in our drive to succeed. As we grow, attracting top talent, expanding our vendor base and buying the top brands and best values for our customers will be keys to our success.
