It is no secret that the retail'sector has been fundamentally transformed. Beyond the industry's digital revolution, there are also new streams of information available at customers' fingertips, literally. This enables them to make informed or impulse decisions in a split second. Competition for customers is fierce, and savvy retailers are reinventing their customer experience models to align with market expectations. The industry requires innovators who are agile and adaptable. I understand retail's nuances and complexities, and am poised to guide the industry to its continued success. As a leader in the mass production sector, I have worked with multiple retailers to help them drive improvements in efficiency and scale growth. Through Turchese, a firm I founded in 2014 , I have leveraged my relationships forged over the last 2 decades with manufacturers in the USA and Asia as well to enable my clients to achieve their goals. to date, I have generated double digit growth of revenue for my clients, who include the major big-box retailers. I am excited to share my enthusiasm and expertise with a growing and disruptive organization. If you would like to connect, please contact me at [email protected]
