Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Montreal, Canada Area

Role focused on driving sales and growing the Montréal business while promoting the Brunello Cucinelli brand and philosophy. Leading as an enabler, my approach was to coach and support the sales team and to mentor and develop each individual’s sense of ownership and potential as a successful retailer. As ambassador for our Montréal men’s (and previously women’s) team and market, my role was to assess our business needs, identify the various corporate partners to support us, and to create and maintain the channels of communication. As lease business partner, my role was to develop strong and healthy business relationships with Holt Renfrew clientele, management team and sales force at large. As an operationally savvy manager, my role included (and was not restricted to) maintaining elevated company standards of merchandising and visual presentation, inventory management and close monitoring of KPI’s.
