About

A seasoned professional with over 12 years of experience in the wholesale industry, possessing a proven track record of managing business processes, logistics, and inventory. Providing exceptional leadership skills, business process improvement, and logistics management expertise, I have a proven ability to lead on shore and offshore cross-functional teams, communicate delivery challenges, and determine air requirements to meet sales. As a Senior Manager, Business Process at PVH Corp, I was responsible for mapping business processes, analyzing gaps, and providing solutions to improve business efficiency. As a Senior Inventory Manager, I provided hands-on management guidance for North America Core Intimates businesses and was responsible for the Open-to-Buy, budgetary functions and SME for JDA. I managed the $350MM North America Core Intimates business, while developing a team of two direct reports. My experience as a Training Manager positioned me to define and implement SOPs across the on shore and offshore Operations and Inventory Management teams. For a 6-month duration I lived and worked in Bangalore, India where I trained a team of 13 associates in newly created roles. I pride myself in continuing my professional development, including my recent (July 2021) certification of Six Sigma Green Belt. I am an active member in the Northern Ohio Italian American Foundation (NOIA), participating in the Governance Committee, as well as a long-time member of Ohio Farm Bureau.
