In March of 2014, I was recruited by bebe stores to take store systems to another level. With the importance of increased security needed by the store systems and the ever-increasing need to further an omnichannel solution, they came to me because of my extensive experience in Retail solutions.  In a short amount of time I was able to make that a reality. Some of the things we completed are listed below.  There was more to be done, however, bebe is closing down.
•	Successfully implemented Verifone Point EMV solution to make bebe compliant with current PCI requirements and saving 10’s of thousand in fraudulent charges.
•	Successfully implemented the FDMS Transarmor tokenization solution to limit the company liability from a data breach and limit the scope requirements for PCI compliance.
•	Successfully implemented the Oracle Locate inventory brokering system to broaden the availability of inventory for sale.  This enabled us close a huge gap between bebe.com and Store Systems by fulfill
