Building brand equity and customer loyalty … creating cultures of shared success … leveraging data to drive strategy … revamping sales and operational infrastructures … reinvigorating sluggish teams … aligning products with channels to maximize ROI … These are a few of the strategic actions I’ve taken to propel luxury organizations to peak levels of performance …And … Over the course of my career, I’ve spearheaded many lasting “firsts” for brands that include Fendi, Montblanc, Bell & Ross and Gucci. Some highlights:✦ Turning around underperforming brands and building high octane sales organizations while managing P&L are trademark skills of mine. For a subsidiary of LVMH, I rebuilt the sales and operations teams, aligned distribution channels and implemented new training programs. In the first two years, we skyrocketed revenues by 200%; maintained margins and budget.✦ Grooming and leading talent to become top performers and game changers are central to the successful brands I’ve helmed. I’m known as the “optimal coach” due to my passion for talent development. For Gucci Timepieces, I curated the industry’s first all-female team of sales associates, many of whom have become industry executives and senior managers, and credit my mentorship as the reason.✦ Launching innovative products and cultivating deep brand loyalty are hallmarks of my expertise. After the events of 9/11, we honored victims by introducing a limited-edition American Bubble watch. Proceeds from each sale were donated to the Giuliani Twin Towers fund and the watch not only was an acclaimed success, but it endeared customers to the brand.✦ Developing high impact strategies and capturing a competitive edge are in my DNA. A men’s luxury Swiss watch manufacturer sought my know-how to establish brand recognition in the US. After opening several new POS, rolling out lucrative retailer programs and re-energizing the sales team, revenues soared from zero to $20M.
