Why me
Store manager with 9 years running $30M+ volume boxes. Comp sales, shrink, and a team that stays. Store Manager with mid-career depth across product, people, and P&L-adjacent outcomes. Known for quantified delivery, cross-functional leadership, and clear operating cadence. Sample profile is intentionally dense so you mostly edit, not invent.
