My role extends to influencing strategic decisions to ensure alignment with overall business objectives. While building improvements in development process and timelines, I guide product from seasonal concept, alongside design to execution at the store level. I shape brand and product strategy throughout the lifecycle. This includes fulfilling long-range strategies, facilitating seasonal plans,and meticulous line-planning to optimize market presence and consumer appeal.

In my PD role with Town & Country I offered an inspired assortment of home products in a number of styles and sizes to satisfy our customers. Our superior licensed products emphasized, trend as well as superior quality and lasting use. I proudly have longstanding relationships with our retailers: Amazon, Bloomingdales,Boscovs, Home Goods, JCP, Kohls, Macy's, Marmaxx, and Walmart.

My direct support ensured seamless execution of development timelines and cross-functional workflow. My contribution was essential to the productivity of our small team and our profitability of the company's flagship revenue category, boasting an average of $20M in annual sales.
