Retail & Technology Executive
Make ambition something people can act on
A plan becomes useful when people understand the choices behind it and have the authority to act. I lead with clear commercial priorities, trust in the team and accountability for what we deliver.
My experience connects retail leadership, sourcing and production change, international acquisition work and founding digital businesses.
Retail experience. A founder’s perspective.
My commercial foundation includes category management and sourcing at Walmart. Work in production automation, supplier development and cross-border integration brings a wider view of how a business carries change through.
I founded Sleep Science and Lizard Emotion, with work across ecommerce operations and mobile products. Today, I lead retail and technology at Kindling.
Featured perspective
Give people authority they can use
Asking people to think like owners creates an obligation for the leader. If the team carries the responsibility while the leader keeps the information and authority, waiting for permission becomes the sensible choice.
Experience
Building through growth and change.
At Kindling, I have led retail and technology during substantial growth. Working with the team, I have developed supporting capabilities, including replenishment tools that give people store-specific recommendations to review.
I developed a long-term sourcing and production strategy with teams in North America and Europe. The plan received executive approval. My production-automation experience also includes implemented bakery lines that reduced labour hours.
Executive and board conversations.
I welcome discussions about growth strategy, leadership development and technology investment, where commercial ambition needs to be matched by the ability to deliver.
