Seasoned jewelry executive with a wealth of experience in assortment planning, brand management, vendor negotiation, and merchandising operations. A true leader with a commitment to quality and service, I combine innovation and process excellence to build product and enhance brand presence in retail markets. I began my career with Tiffany & Co. where I gained a reputation for building effective and profitable merchandising strategies and vendor partnerships. Eventually, I led the Tiffany sourcing team as Vice President. As VP, I was an integral part of the team that launched some of the most successful bridal and fine jewelry collections in the company's history. I also served on planning and distribution teams for a major initiative. After leaving Tiffany in 2005, I worked with many smaller companies, consulting on responsible sourcing, effecting positive change, and aligning resources for growth.
