Profile Description

I am a highly skilled Buyer and Inventory Management professional with over 8 years of experience in the retail industry. Throughout my career at Prince Retail Group of Companies, I have managed end-to-end purchasing operations, vendor relations, and inventory planning with a strong focus on cost efficiency, supplier performance, and customer satisfaction.
I bring expertise in goods procurement, data interpretation, and strategic planning, having successfully led projects such as the launch of the RELEX auto replenishment system, which streamlined purchasing processes and improved inventory accuracy. Recognized with multiple awards—including Most Outstanding Department Store Buyer (2023)—I consistently deliver results that boost sales, optimize stock levels, and enhance the buyer experience.
With a strong background in supplier negotiations, promotional planning, and category management, I thrive in dynamic environments where I can combine my business acumen, leadership skills, and customer-focused approach to drive growth and operational excellence.
