Iman Wilkerson
Apparel Product Development Manager
Summary
My background has given me an extraordinary amount of experience in managing projects and apparel product lines in diverse deadline driven work environments. My experience in project management spans across 5 years where I successfully created strategies to manage the full life cycle of projects by aligning with internal and external departments to ensure deliverables were achieved through: - Strategic Planning: creating a 15 month outlook with internal departments and implementing strategies to meet the objective. - Product Management: overseeing the life cycle of knits and woven categories, from concept to production while collaborating with designers and merchants to create a product line that reflects current trends and sales needs - Procurement: sourcing, evaluating the vendor selection and negotiating the terms and costs for contracts and programs. - Vendor Relationships: monitoring key performance indicators and managing the production and delivery of orders.
