In my own words

Morgan

I have been working in the surf industry for over 10 years.

I have experience in pulling sales and inventory reports, analyzing data, and discovering trends in style/collection selling. I work with ecommerce buying teams to produce seasonal line plans and assist with product development for global adoptions and third-party goods. I collaborate with eComm Merchandising, Marketing and the brand teams for Billabong, Honolua, Element, and Von Zipper.

Prior to this I have experience with managing retail stores and coffee shops in order to achieve sales goals. I know how to train teams, merchandise product, buy, and overseeing all retail store operations.
