ABOUT ILÉNA SAUTTER
I am a French-Swiss professional with 5 years of experience in premium and luxury retail (furniture & fashion), blending business acumen with a growing focus on sustainability and strategic analysis. In past roles as a Buyer and Merchandiser, I have developed a strong command of cross-functional project management, data interpretation, and stakeholder engagement—whether planning seasonal assortments, negotiating with suppliers, or analyzing market trends. Passionate about responsible business and innovation, I am now seeking to apply my experience in roles that sit at the intersection of data, strategy, and positive impact—ideally within fashion sustainability, market intelligence, or responsible sourcing.
