• Buyer
• Catalog

I am charged with developing all products in my categories for Halloween. Because I am very aware of popular culture, I have developed many very funny and timely wigs and accessories that should be very hot this year and should provide a significant boost to sales. I have also increased productivity by maintaining detailed flow charts of product lifecycles. This has enabled me to keep track of details and timing of hundreds of products.
