About Derrick Hines

As an award-winning retail management executive, I have leveraged my leadership strengths to support the implementation of organizational vision and exceed financial targets for national sportswear and footwear retailers. I offer a hands-on approach to management that involves working closely with store teams to drive optimal customer service, associate productivity, and profit and loss results. During my 20+-year career in retail management, I have managed up to 180 retail locations with store managers and store associates. My subject matter expertise spans all areas of retail management experience, including recruiting and retaining top talent; training store and district level employees; allocating and managing operational budgets; monitoring results metrics; and adjusting activities to achieve desired outcomes. In addition to my strong capacity to develop and implement workable solutions that fuel the success of retail organizations, I have a proven record of increasing annual sales volume year-over-year. I attribute this success to my ability to inspire and influence excellence by creating a positive work atmosphere, developing specific performance objectives, and rewarding achievements. One of my proudest achievements was receiving the National District Manager of the Year Award for outperforming 103 district managers from across the country in top percentage gain and top dollar gain. In addition, I overachieved district sales plan by over $1 million for 6 of 7 years.
