Work History

Assistant Buyer II - Men's Outdoor

Macys
06.2022 - Current
  • Exceeded sales targets in the Island Men’s department by 23%, generating and additional $400,000 in revenue. This was up +30% to LY ($500,000). This was achieved by shifting receipts from underperforming doors into our monument door locations. Monument doors alone exceeded sales targets by 3% and were +13% to LY. Monument doors GM% was +4 points to LY (44% vs 40%) and total Island department reflected that.
  • Successfully launched The North Face in the park and drove $1.8M in sales. This was flat to our sales plan and +28% to LY ($400k). The North Face Men’s drove the most volume over any other brand and accounted for 30% of total sales. This was achieved by setting the floor early, continuously monitoring business and chasing into ATS, and lastly, was able to bring in new exclusive, elevated product that we have never been allowed to sell in the past.
