Professional Background

With extensive experience in retail operations and store development, I specialize in guiding retailers through the complex process of new store launches. My comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your store opening is meticulously planned and executed.

I understand that launching a new retail location involves much more than just finding a space and stocking it with inventory. It requires strategic planning, careful attention to brand consistency, optimized traffic flow, and seamless coordination between multiple teams and vendors.

My turn-key approach takes the stress out of store launches by handling everything from initial floor plan creation through grand opening day operational readiness. I work closely with retailers to ensure their new locations not only meet their vision but exceed their sales per square foot goals.

Whether you're a growing retailer opening your second location or an established brand expanding into new markets, I bring the expertise and attention to detail needed to make your store launch a success.
