After 20 years in the retail and consumer goods sector, I became a research analyst and market strategist for Capital Ladder Advisory Group. Since 2011, I have published some 400+ articles surrounding mainstream retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Costco and more. I've covered consumer goods corporations such as Apple, Keurig Green Mountain, SodaStream, Skullcandy, Fitbit and more. To date, I've garnered over a hundred media references to my analytics including Forbes. Presently, I am a contracted consultant to many retail and consumer goods companies in North America and manufacturing entities in China and Korea.
