As a leader with 15+ years in senior general management, I aim to distill simplicity from complexity in order to move fast with purpose. The more challenging the puzzle appears, the more I enjoy it. I've managed scale-up businesses of various sizes during key growth junctions and tumultuous periods. I was MD of Net-a-Porter (£1B revenue, 1,500+ employees) as it went through a large-scale business transformation following an acrimonious merger, driving the highest revenue and profits for the group through a focus on VIP customers and new territories, which was central to the $3.4 billion acquisition by the Richemont Group. At Hydrow, the connected fitness rower ($150M+ revenue, 100+ employees) I was MD during the double-whammy of Covid pandemic restrictions ending- which had driven exponential-growth-- and the private funding market drying up-- which had driven investment. I drove a reshaping of the D2C acquisition and distribution model which resulted in record profitability, new fundraising, and placed Hydrow as one of the world's top-5 at-home fitness brands by annual recurring revenue. There are plenty more exciting transformations to talk about, whether that's a strategy of collection development and brand positioning that took 66˚North, a 100-year-old Icelandic outerwear company, to Europe and the US; or 4x e-commerce growth to $200 million revenue through operational, technological, and editorial investment at Barneys New York. I also do a fair amount of advisory, coaching, and mentoring. Personally, I'm a Californian at heart, longtime New Yorker, and British immigrant. Lover of the outdoors, and humourless only in photos
