About Josh Hultgren

I have a passion for all things retail - the strategy, creativity, analysis, and the buzz of great results. My career path has allowed me a deeply diverse set of experiences. I\'ve led teams on the inventory and buying side of merchandising ranging from cosmetics, electronics, grocery, home decor to sporting goods. I\'ve led marketing groups in corporate coupon strategy and direct mail, leveraging shopper marketing insights to lead strategy. At Zoomworks I led business development developing our toy and healthcare products at across all trade channels. In my time at RB, I\'ve had both sales, category management, and shopper insights experience. I value broad experience and continued education, completing my MBA at the Carlson School of Management in 2016.
