Passionate about clothing and the development of textile collections, I work in large international groups, small structures, distribution chains and fashion, lifestyle and luxury brands Know-how - I have a complete experience covering all the operations of an apparel division (creation, collection plans construction, ranges build up, purchasing of materials and components, production, price definition in line with margin policy, sourcing, quality, logistics) - My expertise in the clothing, footwear and accessories markets enables my fashion clients to speed up their product development cycles, ensure reliable production and on-time delivery of collections - I help companies in the fashion, luxury and sports sectors to increase their productivity, by training my teams with the best IT solutions, such as PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software integration, including setting up the pre sell strategy, RFP, UAT, configuration, integration, end-user support, ERP interfaces, etc. . - My extensive experience of international sourcing (specifications, negotiation, audits, partnerships) and quality (validation of technical files, PPS standardisation, management of pattern makers, setting up dedicated teams and appropriate processes) means that I can have a clear impact on the gross margin and security of supplies, while complying with back-testing. - My experience has broadened to include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), both in terms of social aspects (social audits, ethics charter) and environmental aspects (eco-design, carbon impact measurement, LCA). Personal skills - As an operational person, I am result-oriented, whether the projects are ambitious or the objectives high. - My management style is to contribute to everyone's performance through motivation, transparency and sharing, being naturally open to discussion and positive, but rigorous. - In crisis situation, this means restoring in my team the confidence, meaning and the pleasure of doing things, both internally and in collaboration with other departments. It's also about ensuring that information flows smoothly between all the business units involved in a collection (Studio, Design Office, Workshop, Materials and Components Purchasing, Production, Quality, Logistics) - Being innovative, rethinking the job content and challenging yourself is a necessity in a constantly changing fashion world. I've been able to bring a number of projects to profitability, for the benefit of the product development teams.
