About Sam Itaoui

An accomplished Property Specialist, I have worked extensively in Retail Property Management across all facets of the sector including leasing, retail, Logistics and construction at an executive level. I have worked with brands including BBRC, Sanity, Bras N Things, Honey Birdette, Hanes, Greenway Wetherill Park and a range of other local and global enterprises.A true people connector, I pride myself on my ability to establish strong professional networks with all stakeholders from colleagues through to global senior executives. Treating people right is at the heart of everything I do, and I know just how important it is to be genuine, approachable and honest in all of my interactions.As a leader, I am passionate about building high-performing teams, and possess a talent for identifying potential in my team and mentoring them towards personal and professional success. My commitment to organisational culture has underpinned my success in senior leadership roles and I truly believe that if you create an environment focused on integrity, accountability, respect and excellence - your team will be able to achieve great things.Whilst I have spent a significant portion of my career in retail leasing and property management, I was proud to secure certification as a licensed builder, allowing me to work with all stakeholders to deliver innovative, cost-effective construction projects for brands with exacting standards such as Honey Birdette, Baby Bunting, McGregor Coxall, Bras N Things, Sanity, Today Fitness and Carls Jnr. As critical as location and lease terms are to business success, I know these must go hand in hand with quality fit-out standards and an innovative design to ensure that customers are enticed and attracted into the premises.In addition to the above, I'm an analytical thinker and expert negotiator who loves finding the right opportunities and acting on them to drive long-term business success. A testament to my impeccable track record for project delivery is my career history below, and I have spearheaded some really exciting initiatives during my career, including breaking ground in global markets. My professional reputation is my calling card, and I am known for being a people-focused and commercially astute executive with a passion for the retail sector and driving innovation.If you're interested in getting to know more about me and my work, or if you'd be interested in joining my team - please feel free to get in touch!

Sam Itaoui Work Experience Details
  • Iretail
    Property Director
    Iretail Aug 2018 - Present
    Greater Sydney Area
    In my current role, I manage leasing, property development and construction projects as part of a talented executive leadership team for a major retail organisation. The two key brands in my current portfolio are Greenway Wetherill Park and Best&Less, with a total rent roll of over $80 million; however, other brands I have worked with during my time in this role have included Sanity and Honey Birdette. One of my greatest successes has been building high-performing teams who are motivated and engaged to deliver outstanding results and who are empowered to operate autonomously. Some of my other achievements include:• Drove the transformation of Greenway Wetherill Park from an externally-managed premises to an internally-managed, fully-leased operation generating a substantial increase in annual rental income.• Pioneered a substantial property initiative for Honey Birdette, which demanded relocation to LA mid COVID-19 pandemic to revitalise delayed building projects, redesigning stores, and progressing other capital works whilst establishing more effective partnerships with in-country teams.• Negotiated a high-value deal with Carl's Jr for their flagship Sydney store that doubled the rental income for the site. I subsequently managed the construction process, delivering the entire project within six months and under-budget.

    Hanes Brands Australasia Feb 2018 - Aug 2018
    In this role, I worked closely with brands including Bonds, Sheridan and Bras N Things. Following the sale of the Bras N Things to Hanes Brands, I was invited to transition into the organisation as the Global Head of Property, where I:• Conceptualised and acted on an opportunity to transition Hanes from using external leasing agents to engaging in-house staff, which not only controlled costs but also provided greater oversight of the leasing and property management process.• Planned and executed the integration of Bras N Things leases and relationships into Hanes as an organisation.

    Following Sanity's transition into an independent, privatised entity, I held a critical role in driving business transformation initiatives that supported the company to continued success in the wake of HMV and Virgin Music's closures. Some of the most effective projects I led during this period included:• Redefined the company's property strategy, relocating stores from flagship capital city spaces into more condensed sites in regional areas that secured new business and market share in alignment with company growth strategies.• Coordinated a strategic reduction in stores from 309 sites to 160 with an entirely different footprint that was significantly more profitable due to the ongoing research I had conducted to source sites in previously uncharted locations for the industry.• Negotiated significant rent reductions, which delivered substantial savings across a high volume of stores between 2015 and 2016.
