• Lead category and shopper learning plans that answer critical business questions and influence commercial strategy.
• Create compelling, insight-led stories that simplify complex information and inspire action with internal leaders and Walmart partners.

• Directly shaping critical retailer engagements including line reviews, Joint Business Planning (JBP), assortment discussions, innovation sell-in, and strategic customer meetings.
