Bio
sophia gerde
Kaitlyn is a strong merchandiser who keeps the consumer at the forefront of her decisioning & strategy. She knows her customer, understands what will and won’t work for her categories, and seeks to continuously drive improvements into the customer shopping journey. She asks great questions and keeps a backlog of ‘what if’ ideas that she’s ready to draw from when the opportunity arises. We were able to work together on quite a few of them! As a tech partner, I always appreciate her approach when suggesting a new feature--she leads with research & data, thoroughly considers the requirements from both an end-user and a systems-user perspective, and understands (& works within) the prioritization and development processes. Kaitlyn will bring fresh ideas, a positive attitude, and passion for the customer into your organization.
