About Stephanie Pankuch

Award-winning retail & marketing leader with 20+ years of experience. Highly skilled in omni-channel customer strategy, merchandising, negotiation, buying, planning, e-commerce and digital marketing. Energetic and compassionate leader of teams, known for building highly effective and top performing teams that can effectively manage change, navigate ambiguity, think creatively and are solution & results oriented. I am a creative thinker that loves a challenge and loves to challenge the status quo. I am constantly looking to do better and seek out what’s next to keep ahead of the competition and create the best customer experience. I am goal oriented and results driven, with a strong strategic mindset and ability to align large cross functional groups to a single vision. I am not afraid to do what is different or unusual and take a calculated risk. I love a good short term win, like everyone, but know how to play the long game and stay focused, and keep my team focused, on the end game even when things get challenging. I am the one to call when things need to get done and when things need to get overhauled.
