With nearly two decades (!) of experience in footwear & accesssories, I have had the priviledge of working right in the mix of fashion, commerce & human connection.My career has honed my skills in product development & selection, market analysis, trend forecasting & strategy planning. I have a thorough & deep understanding of the entire product lifecycle, from concept to consumer enjoy problem solving, strategic planning & leadership. I have worked in a variety of roles - from mid market to luxury, footwear to acessories, high street to brand level. Each one of these experiences has helped me develop the wide range of skills I posess. Wether collaborating with designers, negotiating with suppliers, or mentoring my team, I am keen to create positive results. What really drives me, besides the product, is working with people. Product is my strength & people are what make me tick. I love to build strong connections with teams, suppliers & customers alike. Nuturing talent & management of teams is something I take really seriously and fundamentally enjoy.
