"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out," as Robert Collier once said. This principle has guided my career as a business professional, starting with a degree in Business Management and a Post Graduate Diploma from the prestigious NIFT College in India.My passion for fashion and business, combined with a talent for developing long-term professional and personal relationships, has been the driving force behind my success.With over two decades of experience running sourcing operations out of the Indian subcontinent, I have worked with some of the biggest names in fashion and sourcing, including Benetton, Otto AGN, Triburg, Next, and Falabella. My core strengths include building solid sourcing strategies, vendor management and development, product development and design, building key buyer portfolios, ensuring compliances, and understanding the fashion retail industry. With a keen interest in the world economy, geopolitics, and global trends in fashion, design, sourcing, and sustainability, I navigate through murky and volatile sourcing waters with ease. As the first employee of Falabella in the role of Country Manager, I played a pivotal role in spearheading the sourcing operations. From setting up the physical office to establishing the legal entity and partnering with 3rd party agents, I took charge of every aspect of the operation. Establishing a liaison office for Falabella, building the core team from scratch and maintaining a healthy turnover have been one of my proudest achievements.Looking ahead, I am excited to establish new sourcing bases, develop new product designs, and train a new set of vendors to elevate the manufacturing capabilities of this region. I am always up for significant challenges and committed to building a strong networking base with fierce and impactful leaders and visionaries.
