About Bennet Roper

Passion drives me, integrity makes me who I am. I am an accomplished merchandising professional with experience in optimizing sales for a leading outdoor retailer. Beyond that - I use my passion to fight for what the customer needs and my personal strengths to adapt and grow my business. I have a proven track record managing complex vendor relationships and can adapt my approach to ambiguous business environments- I am fearless when it comes to seeking out opportunities to learn, because I care about the people I work with and the impact of my work. This desire to learn often leads to strengthened cross-divisional relationships and streamlined workflows because I take my learnings back and share them freely- I love to analyze and present data in multiple ways- whether it is creating a skills manual that can be used across a division or finding new ways to visualize business insights in Excel- Challenge is what drives me to do better, I am solution and detail oriented and run head-first towards challenges and rarely don’t have a plan to improve my workflow. My authenticity shines through when I speak about my work, I am kind and value integrity. I hope that our paths cross soon. My core competencies are: Problem Solving | Vendor Relationships | Database Management | Project Management | Data Visualization and Business Tracking | Inventory Management |Excel VBA |FCC Pricing Regulations | SAP ERP
