About Houston Thomas
As a Product Portfolio Analyst at Valvoline, I lead the analysis of product profitability to drive strategic portfolio adjustments. This involves evaluating vendor cost structures, pricing components, customer demand trends, and macroeconomic risks, while developing financial models to assess current-state performance and forecast short and long-term impacts. I also partner with our central supply chain team to analyze supplier and distributor performance, ensuring product demand is effectively met across all stores in the United Sates and Canada. A key focus of our product portfolio strategy team is SKU rationalization, where optimizing store inventory requires alignment across the supply chain cycle. Passionate about product strategy and category management, I’m continuously expanding my expertise to further my leadership in the field. Always open to connecting, exchanging insights, and discussing industry trends—feel free to reach out!
