I have managed diverse customer portfolios, including wholesalers, regional chains, convenience-store customers, and retailers. My work combines account planning, customer negotiations, sales forecasting, retailer presentations, and cross-functional collaboration.

I use syndicated data, sales reporting, and performance analytics to identify trends, develop actionable recommendations, and improve customer execution. I have supported field teams, brokers, category partners, and sales organizations through clear reporting and coordinated execution plans.

I am also an experienced people and partner leader, having mentored newer team members and led broker and retail sales teams. I focus on building accountability, strengthening sales capabilities, and delivering consistent execution against business priorities.
