Background
With three decades of retail expertise spanning corporate buying, in-store leadership, and consulting, Lonnie helps retailers turn strategy into stronger profits. For thirteen years, she's served as a Management One Affiliate Expert, partnering with store owners nationwide through the Retail Orbit solution.
Her foundation comes from seventeen years as a buyer at Neiman Marcus, including their executive development program — mastering inventory correction, vendor negotiation, markdown strategy, and assortment planning. She complements this with eight years of in-store leadership experience across Sakowitz, Neiman Marcus, and Orvis, giving her a rare, ground-level understanding of how strategic decisions play out on the sales floor.
"My goal is improved industry knowledge, improved profitability and turnover, and a stronger team."
— Lonnie
“Deciding to work with Lonnie has been the best decision I have made for my business. She is extremely knowledgeable and has opened my eyes to so much more about the buying process than I thought as a buyer for 14 years I already knew.”
“Lonnie has become absolutely irreplaceable to me! I rely on her opinion before making any important business decision.”
