Bio
Bob Kauffman
David is one of the most experienced and fiscally savvy retail veterans l have ever worked with in my career. He is a rare commodity in todays business. He has ability to dig into the details, as well as understanding and managing to the "big picture". David draws from a broad backround which includes both sales and supply chain experience that makes him a valuable asset to any organization. He is an innate leader and requires very little supervision. David had the unenviable task of managing two distinctly different and sku intensive businesses at Circuit City, MP3 accessories and Appliances. Both departments were managed by separate leadership teams that required separate meetings and jobstreams. Inspite of challenges associated with working for a struggling company, David managed his responsibilities effectively by minimizing inventory risk and maximizing return on investment. Given the opportunity, I personally, would not hesitate to make David a member of my team in the future.
