I excel at aligning creative vision with commercial performance, structuring scalable organizations, and building trusted partnerships that accelerate growth while protecting brand DNA.With a strong track record in wholesale, retail, and digital, I bring a 360° view of the fashion value chain — from product and distribution strategy to revenue growth, team leadership, and profitability. I am particularly energized by challenges involving brand repositioning, sustainable long-term value creation and international expansion.Today, I work closely with leading brands as a strategic partner, acting as an extension of their leadership teams to support European expansion, from market strategy to hands-on execution.
