New Supplier On-boarding with National Retail Store
Working for the B2B outdoor furniture start-up Linya Outdoor Living gave me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the retail / CPG industry. Learning the in’s and out’s of product development, retail buying cycles, pricing negotiations and ultimately order fulfillment. This was a leap from any of my previous experience working in manufacturing, and helped me to round out my project management skill set.
