Louis Azanza Email & Phone Number

With a degree in International Business from Paris, France, my background thereafter consists of eight years of commercial experience across retail sales & marketing strategy concentrated in the luxury goods arena.Since my early years in Paris, I have always been a strong enthusiast of high-end fashion and luxury trends, which has only been enriched through opportunities enjoyed living and working in France, Italy and now England for the past five years.In addition to learning four languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Arabic) outside my native French, I used these opportunities to gain valuable experience with leading retailers (i.e. Auchan, Zara, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Harrods), where I consistently surpassed sales objectives while improving the customer experience at point of sale. From personal shopping and retail strategy at Selfridges, I went on to join one of London's leading private shopping servicers, Martina Wagener, as Sales and Marketing Manager. Since working with her, I have helped her create a successful private advisory business, with my functions spanning across: sales and new business development, database creation and optimization, marketing implementation and website development and strategy. This has positively resulted in a 30% increase in new client acquisition, along with close to a 25% increase in revenues generated for Martina Wagener through services rendered for global high-profile clients.Specialties: - experience in building and maintaining strong relationships with buyers, ensuring long-term partnerships- proven track record of successfully creating target customer lists and winning accounts- attention to detail- strong communication across dynamic cultural backgrounds- solid customer service skills: understanding and satisfying diverse clients' needs- exceptional project management skills: ability to multi-task, prioritize and work to deadlines
