How she plans
Demand & forecast planning
Builds bottom-up and top-down forecasts, reconciles them to the financial plan, and re-forecasts against live trend so supply follows real demand.
Inventory & replenishment
Sets stock targets, coverage and safety-stock rules, manages ageing and exit strategy, and protects service levels without over-investing working capital.
Financial planning & OTB
Owns sales, margin, receipt and open-to-buy plans, monthly reforecasts, and the variance story behind every number for senior leadership.
S&OP and supply partnership
Runs the cadence between commercial, supply, finance and operations teams — aligning purchase plans, lead times and vendor capacity to one agreed plan.
