A pragmatic leader and idealist entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in business development and merchandising and collection management in the global luxury and contemporary fashion industry, my focus and expertise is to take a company to their next dream phase, whether through re-positioning or building a product from the ground up. Following a few years on Wall Street, I moved over to business in the fashion industry. Managing these two worlds became the foundation of my next 15 years in fashion – ranging from operations to logistics and most notably, product merchandising, working to create a deep understanding of the complexities in the product supply chain working with designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Opening Ceremony’s founders Carol Lim and Humberto Leon reviving LVMH’s heritage brand, Kenzo Paris. An entrepreneur at heart, I co-founded contemporary accessories brand, Complet and led the brand to global distribution in the world’s top department stores and online retailers and worn by celebrities and opinion leaders alike. In 2021, I co-founded the female-led FashTech startup Etelier, bringing the consumer into iCommerce and Web2.5. We leverage the power of computer graphics and AI models to recover the shape and metric size of clothed individuals and garments to standardize data to enable efficient matching and sorting of large sets.AREAS OF EXPERTISE:Brand Strategy | Digital Innovation and Technology | Planning SUPERPOWERS:Visioning | Influencing | Female / Women EmpowermentINTERESTS: Startups | Entrepreneurship | Innovation in Fashion | Diversity | Web3 & Blockchain
