Skillfully analyzing consumer and category insights to identify strategic opportunities and implement recommendations to propel category sales growth.

Researching and tracking competitor product offerings to identify future opportunities.

Collaborating effectively with internal and external cross-functional teams to accelerate sales growth and realize significant business gains at the customer level.
