I've spent the last decade working in demand planning and supply chain, mostly in retail and consumer goods. That's included in-house roles managing forecasts for business units with $100M to $300M in annual sales, consulting work at a major firm supporting global clients through supply chain transformations, and more recently independent advisory work for brands trying to get their inventory under control. The problems I get called in for tend to look different on the surface but come from the same few places, sales history that's been distorted by stockouts, forecasting processes held together by disconnected spreadsheets, or planning teams spending most of their time on manual data work instead of actual decisions. I've also worked directly on Amazon account inventory management, where stockouts carry an extra penalty most planning teams underestimate. I work across the full range depending on what the client needs. Sometimes that's a diagnostic, figuring out what's actually broken before anyone starts talking about systems. Sometimes it's building out a proper demand planning process, a forecasting model, or a set of reports that give a business real visibility into what's happening. I have experience in apparel, CPG, and toy and games retail, which are categories where demand patterns tend to be messier than most. If you're dealing with an inventory or demand planning problem and want someone who's worked on this across different industries and business sizes, feel free to reach out.
