EXPERIENCE
Core-Mark Int’l – Senior Category Manager
June 2018 - Current
I was hired to train, educate and champion an improved Category Management strategic business approach. I developed a quarterly Category Insights Day, monthly Category Focus Program, streamlined processes & have improved communication throughout the Division. My success led to Core-Mark creating a position for me and promoted me from Buyer to Senior Category Manager.

Murphy USA - Category Manager
July 2017 - June 2018
Managed over $86 million in top line sales, while delivering $28 million in profit revenue. Space limitations are a huge obstacle for convenience so I helped develop space solutions through custom racks and fixtures to increase product offerings which provided an estimated $5 million in incremental sales for the Candy & Snacks categories. I also improved promotional performance by at least 12% each month through negotiating stronger deals for each event, while maintaining GM% plan by making vendors compete for the space, forcing them to put more skin in the game. Fred’s - Operations, Supply Chain & Category Management August 2008 - July 2017
I started as an Operations Expert and quickly climbed the ladder to the corporate office within my first three years at the company. They promoted me to Allocation’s Analyst with the strategy of grooming & developing me into a Category Manager. Within a year’s time I was promoted to Category Manager which led to managing multiple categories such as Toys, Sporting Goods, Seasonal and Candy. I helped streamline initiatives to improve execution, improved funding contribution/vendor accountability, and grew sales and profits all while decreasing average inventory DOS. EDUCATION
