Planning & Communication
A great analyst not only needs to know how to process inventory data to optimize operations – they also need to be able to communicate these ideas in a way that allows merchants to make quick, data-driven decisions. Matt takes the time to really get to know his clients so he can provide the most relevant information possible.
Experience
Matt joined Blacks full-time in 2010, and quickly become a trusted consultant to many men’s and women’s wear retailers, both online and off. He also specializes in multi-store operations, creating store-by-store plans that roll up to unified goals.
