I am a highly motivated global professional with over 30 years experience in NPD, Brand Strategy and Sourcing in the Luxury Lifestyle Industry, the last 7 years in the Beauty and Wellness segment.My analytical and strategic thinking and the ability to translate these skills into creative, innovative and marketable products have resulted in an outstanding track record of product launches. My knowledge and experience in a variety of product categories, as well as my skills in stakeholder management and internal evangelism inspire and motivate teams with a tremendous emphasis on product fidelity and authenticity. In overseeing the entire product lifecycle from the strategic vision to product development and tactical marketing activities my focus on results over methodology in assessing product profitability and operational product metrics have generated new concept launches that have exceeded business targets and increased ROI on existing lines.I believe stongly that open communications build the foundation for success both as a team player and a team leader. I strive to create a culture of agency and ownership. Great products and successful businesses are a result of true collaboration.I particularly thrive in deadline driven, dynamic and highly competitive markets. INBAR+co is a prime example of the kind of brand development I believe in. As a brand participating in and supporting real change in an authentic and credible way. Combining zeitgeist and innovation with social responsibility and integrating it in an aesthetic that stands out in an industry awash with the same stock images and retouched faces.Special Skills - Brand and Category Strategy, Trend Analysis, Concept launches, Design Management, Sourcing and Vendor Relationship, Product Lifecycle Management, Change Management
