About Tad Summersett
I\'m a seasoned merchant with a track record of strong business results. Strengths include influential communication skills, industry and team leadership, and change management skills. I’m a builder of strong relationships via negotiations that inspire trust, with a good barometer for balancing risk with opportunity. Experience in multi-channel retail (but open to other industries), building brands (both private and external), and identifying business opportunities. My values include: • Balance: willing to be influenced; consider multiple POVs; understand the value (and be comfortable with) multiple shades of grey & ambiguity. This is true for Life and Work. • Empowerment = Clear Expectations + Autonomy + Accountability • Team: Have a customer-service mindset. Treat others as valuable contributors and lean into team-success. Share credit. Remain calm. Be kind. • Trust: I value transparency & honesty; actions speak louder than words.
