I have a proven track record devising/executing

strategies that build sales, lower expenses,

reduce shrink and increase earnings in fast-

paced, B2C service environments. Overseeing

day-to-day operations, budgets and strategic

plan development, I met, and often exceeded,

corporate expectations.

I have an extensive background in team

building, problem solving, and

process/performance improvement. Skilled in

training/development, I built regional

management teams and staffs, driving

unprecedented growth. My other key strengths

include:

- Developing and implementing policies and

procedures to increase revenues and market

share.

- Managing inventory to improve in-stock

numbers and reduce shrinkage.

- Facilitating training and integration of

management teams following acquisitions.

- Increasing store brand penetration and

improving merchandising to increase margins.

Named "Regional Store Manager of the Year" four

times, I also received awards for Top District

Comparable Store Sales Increase, 2005 and 2008

and for Division Best District Shrink

Improvement, 2008. Recognized for my ability to

inspire others to top performance, I am an

exceptional recruiter, and work well alone or

as part of a team.
