About Elle Glas

I’m a highly organized, proactive, and solutions-focused professional with 9+ years of experience in Fashion Production & Operations Management, and 5+ years of parallel experience in the Fitness & Wellness Industry spanning Coaching, Marketing, and Community Engagement. I thrive in fast-paced environments, love working cross-functionally, and bring a calm, grounded presence to any team.FashionMy fashion career spans the full product lifecycle—from product development and sourcing to production and final delivery—across luxury and contemporary brands. Most recently, I served as Senior Production & Operations Manager at Arias New York, overseeing 4 collections annually, managing both NYC and international production, ERP integration (Zedonk), and vendor communications.Earlier roles include Production Manager at Roland Mouret and Michael van der Ham in London, where I handled everything from costings and production to running backstage operations for London Fashion Week. I started out in Sourcing & Production at WE Fashion (a large Dutch retailer), managing multi-product lines across men’s, women’s, and kidswear with a strong emphasis on international vendor management. Across all roles, my focus has always been delivering on time, on budget, and at the highest quality level.Fitness & WellnessAlongside my fashion career, I’ve pursued a deep passion for wellness and movement. At F45, I initially worked Marketing and Operations, contributing to email campaigns (Mailchimp), social media content, website updates, analytics, and community event planning—gaining hands-on experience in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.Currently, I work as a Group Fitness Coach at F45, where I lead high-energy, functional training classes that foster connection and motivation among members.In summer 2024, I also conceptualized, designed, and led a pre/post-natal friendly parent & child fitness class, managing everything from class programming and venue sourcing to community outreach and partnerships. This project combined my love for movement with my strong organizational and entrepreneurial skills, and deepened my connection to the local community.This ongoing dual path in fashion and fitness reflects my passion for both structure and creativity—and for helping ideas and people thrive through thoughtful planning, great communication, and meaningful collaboration.
