Background

About Mike Rollando

I am a seasoned merchandising executive with a 15+ year career progression and demonstrated accomplishments in the areas of areas of business development, contract management, buy negotiations, and sales/profit growth. My strength is in my ability to guide highly productive teams who consistently produce positive results towards P&L attainment, cost reductions, merchandising strategy, and profits. I have extensive seasonal sourcing experience and expertise that I leveraged as Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager for Tuesday Morning where I directed the development and growth strategy for seasonal categories for the entire company. As a skilled negotiator I successfully negotiated vendor, merchandising, pricing, and delivery terms that lead to increased profits, reduced costs, and merchandising/buying strategies that have achieved double-digit business increases in sales for new and established lines of business. My ability to leverage extensive knowledge of the business, buying and merchandising strategies, and recruit and nurture top performing teams has been the driver of my success to date. I have a keen eye for identifying market opportunities and trends and capitalizing on that to optimize product pricing, quality, and vendor performance.
