Meet Nicole
Hi, I'm Nicole.
I have spent my career helping retail brands make smarter inventory decisions through strategic planning, allocation, and retail analytics.
Over the past nine years, I've worked across retail planning, store planning, allocation, and inventory strategy, partnering with cross-functional teams to support new store openings, optimize assortments, improve replenishment strategies, and build reporting that drives better business decisions.
I have worked with both established global brands and growing retail businesses, giving me a unique perspective on how scalable inventory processes can support every stage of growth.
I started Coastal Retail Consulting because I realized many emerging brands face the same challenges as larger retailers, but often without the planning resources or dedicated inventory teams to solve them.
My goal is to bring enterprise-level planning expertise to growing brands in a practical, approachable, and collaborative way.
