MainGate Inc.Director of Inventory Management
Jul. 2009 - Jul. 2022I started as an Inventory Manager and worked my way up to Director, overseeing inventory for 45 business units across stores, mobile sales, and distribution centers. I built financial models to keep stock levels in check, led forecasting and budgeting, and helped teams avoid expensive overstock and markdowns. When COVID-19 hit, I acted fast, cutting purchase orders, adjusting timelines, and making sure we didn’t get buried in unsold inventory. My focus was always on efficiency, smart decision-making, and keeping things moving.
