Experience Behind the Advice

I've built, scaled and run fashion businesses.

I don't approach a fashion business as a consultant looking at one department. I've worked across the entire commercial engine — from product and brand creation to buying, merchandising, retail, omnichannel, P&L and business growth.

I've been responsible for building and scaling businesses, launching brands, managing large retail networks and making the commercial decisions that determine whether inventory turns into profitable revenue and cash.

The Perspective I Bring

Practical. Commercial. Grounded in what actually happens inside a fashion business.
