Mo Sriskantha Email and Phone Number
I am a senior-level global omni channel merchandising and wholesale director with over 25 years experience with a deep understanding of physical and digital channels.I am a result-focused, people-orientated leader with astute commercial acumen. This combination has helped the success of businesses I have worked for and the teams I have led.My expertise is in core merchandising and I have a broad understanding of the retail landscape across all business models, including franchise, market place, wholesale, concession, private label and all functions including demand planning, supply chain and logistics.My knowledge of menswear is extensive but at M&S I worked with all categories, womenswear, lingerie, kidswear, home and beauty.I have maximised wholesale order books by galvanising the team, ensuring we have dynamic selling processes in place which give partners confidence in the brand.I successfully led the Burton brand through the transition from Arcadia to boohoo, including the transformation of new systems and a new business model. Burton traded as a pure player and I ensured that we focused on range optimisation, pricing and gathering the right CRM data.This all resulted in record Black Friday sales in December 2021.At Burton I managed a global turnover of £170 million and a total team of 40 across merchandising and wholesale. As the retail landscape became omni channel , at burton I built a market place b2b digital business to £50m from a standing start including the upscaling of new brands.I have lived and worked in the Middle East, have experience of working within corporate and privately owned businesses.
