About Meghan Ruppel
As an experienced Merchandising Leader with over a decade in the industry, I consistently drove Topline Sales growth, Profitability, Customership & Market Share. In 2023, I made the switch from Corporate Retail to the Fitness Industry, a place where I\'ve always had passion! Since making the move, I\'ve become a 500+ Hour Comprehensively Certified Pilates Instructor & have grown within the Club Pilates Franchise Team of CAM Pilates to become Studio Manager of our most established Studio in Columbus.Throughout my career, I\'ve driven significant changes to various product categories: I led the Key Forms & Gifting Categories at Bath & Body Works to see positive year over year Sales in a declining year for the Company (FY22) & led the Market-leading Category of 3-Wick Candles for Bath & Body Works to deliver over $2B in volume with double digit year over year Sales growth & high Margin Rate growth (FY20). Additionally, as the former Merchandising leader for Bath & Body Works\'\"Win at Christmas\" initiative, I delivered over $2B in revenue in a single quarter.Beyond these successes, I have also excelled in leading cross-functional teams, developing holistic Philanthropy & Marketing strategies, as well as building successful startup Brands from the ground up. I am particularly proud of my role in growing the White Barn Brand from two locations to over 200, achieving Sales targets of +20-25%, & turning Third-Party Products into profitable Categories through vendor management & negotiation.With my proven track record in Leadership, Cross-Functional collaboration & long-term Strategic Planning/Execution, I am confident that I can continue to drive growth & profitability for other Organizations looking for my expertise!
