  • Identify opportunities to enhance scalability, reduce bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and improve cost structure.
  • Partner with Sales and Marketing to ensure inventory projections support category launches, seasonal trends, and sales goals and initiatives.
  • Collaborate with Finance to guide supply chain budgets, COGS optimization, cash flow planning, and capital investments (tooling, capacity, warehouse expansion).
