About Tim Reilly
Tim Reilly - Professional Summary:
Seasoned manager with a track record of success across a diverse set of roles, including business development, project management, logistics, six sigma, and IT. A strategic thinker that is also known as a 'numbers guy' and a great teacher, I am able to build and develop a great team.
My academic background (BS in accounting and MBA) has provided me a solid foundation in finance, allowing me to effectively manage multiple P&Ls, including budgeting and forecasting. My work history has given me a strong balance of brick-and-mortar retail knowledge plus internet based sales, including my time as General Manager of Trading Circuit (an internet based liquidation business) and my time leading Business Development for CircuitCity.com.
I am best suited in a position that requires strategy or business development and implementation, that requires turning around a poor performing operation, or that leverages my retail background in an on-line environment.
