ABOUT NATHAN BRYANT
Immediately available as a principle central merchandising/planning Head of with cross functional leadership skills including B&M, Retail, Digital, Supply Chain, Warehousing and Finance. I most recently have been working for Kurt Geiger across own label and their Concessions/Luxury external brands, where I was responsible for translating performance across a complex store/brand matrix to maximise EBIT contributions with sound commercial actions. I report to the board and leadership teams having held accountability for group Seasonal budgets, WSSI’s, inbound stocks and Margin forecasts, as well as key financial KPI’s. I am adept at coordinating internal teams and stakeholders to adhere to a seasonal planning critical path and guide the forward direction of all stock movement throughout the business to aid efficiency and success. I actively seek to improve reporting insights and IT systems working closely with specialists to develop data warehousing and reporting that provides new perspectives and enables clear decision making.
