“Liza is a driven business professional and I deeply admire her passion, her humor, and her incredible expertise. I only had the pleasure of working with Liza for the last 8 months, but in that time, it was clear that she had the chops to build a merchant team from the literal barest of bones. Also, Liza made the jump from apparel to food with aplomb and grace, always sure to share what she understood as site merchandising standard and where she needed more data to make grocery specific recommendations. I couldn’t have asked for more, and Liza always delivered.”
“I had the pleasure of hiring Liza for the role of Site Merchandising Director for Home. She came into Macys & hit the ground running, developing a very detailed 30/60/90 for herself & Team. She set clear objectives, prioritizing efforts on strategies that win. Based on her strong leadership & strategic thinking, we offered her an opportunity to come to NY & lead our Men’s Site Merchandising Team as a Sr. Director. Once in role, she quickly integrated & built strong relationships with her cross functional partners. Liza is a thoughtful leader that invests time with her Team, driving engagement & building trust. ”
“She cultivates an extremely engaged, focused and detail driven team that consistently delivers results. Liza consistently pushed us as a team to think beyond the status quo and develop thoughtful strategies based on hard data. Working under Liza was one of the best experiences of my career so far and working with her taught me a lot about who I would like to be as a manager and merchant.”
“In my time working for Liza, she challenged me to think bigger, think smarter, and be a solutions-oriented leader. Her approach of leading with data and thinking customer first was contagious. Liza’s leadership style was a focus on development and succession planning which I have adopted as a part of my leadership style.”
“Liza is a highly talented merchant with a superior ability to drive business success. She is extremely collaborative cross-functionally and truly gets the big picture (from the numbers on the spreadsheet to an adjustment in a brand positioning). Additionally, Liza has a great eye and is an absolute pleasure to work with!”
“In our short-but-productive time together at Good Eggs, I knew Liza to be a decisive and empathetic merchandising leader. She excels at both the what and the how—finding creative solutions for business challenges while understanding the needs of her team and cross-functional partners. Her superpowers are unlocking and unblocking. She drives projects forward with determination, always keeping the end in sight and connecting necessary dots along the way. Her holistic approach to problem-solving makes her respected and valued by diverse teammates, from creatives to engineers to executives. And beyond the hard skills, she is genuinely kind and easy to be around, and able to lift spirits in the office and on zoom calls alike.”
