Product Manager

Sixteen years of apparel/handbag manufacturing experience, management, career progression and achievements.  I have created and developed custom processes for clients requiring package programs.  As a Director, I trained, mentored and developed my team to produce superior quality product and provide excellent customer service.  I have a proven track record in building partnerships with key accounts.  I worked closely with both international and domestic manufacturers to ensure design specifications and quality control are met.  I have experience managing teams up to 12 employees including setting goals, standards, and practices.

Product manager responsible for ensuring competative pricing and on time delivery of quality product for accounts such as Neiman Marcus Last Call and Dillard’s.  Worked closely with design, sales and buyers to have a clear understanding of each line’s asthetic design direction in order to properly negotiate pricing with factories and provide direction for sampling and production.  Travel to China multiple times a year to review samples, negotiate pricing, check production and maintain relationships while at factories.
