Background
Robert began his retailing career working for a regional menswear chain in Ohio while attending the Ohio State University. He moved to San Francisco, California in June of 1974 and worked for the next 13 years as a store manager, GM, and Buyer with several specialty retail chain-store operations.
Robert left the retail clothing business in 1987 to become an analyst for a national retail consulting firm, where he spent the next 23 years working with independent retail operations of all types and sizes; in 2007, he was promoted to the position of Senior VP in charge of West Coast Sales. At the end of 2009, Robert resigned his position to join forces with Management One™ and opened his own retail consulting firm called "Reedy Consulting & Analysis".
He is proud to have clients that have been working with him for as long as 26 years. As one of Management One's™ top consulting teams, Reedy Consulting has won a number of awards including "Best Client Retention" and "Highest Annual Sales".
“Working with Alex saved us around 50% in initial inventory investment when we opened. We knew then that having him in our corner would take the financial day-to-day completely off our plates — and it did, from day one.”
“I used to walk into buying markets without any real plan. Alex changed that. Now I know exactly what I can spend by category before I even look at a vendor. My markdowns dropped and my turns went up in the first season.”
