About Salvatore Lenzo

I am a proactive Collaborative Retail Visual Merchandising Executive with an accomplished career in directing retail visual merchandising and store design for both luxury and lifestyle retail brands. My strengths are in providing leadership to enhance a store footprint to increase traffic flow by implementing strategies of store layout, ambiance, product visual merchandising, mannequin displays, advertising, marketing, web presence, and special events. My success has been achieved by building relationships in all cross functional teams, ensuring a enjoyable client experience thereby increasing brand awareness and coaching a team to achieve successful results. My leadership style is to be a visionary who thrives on the energy of retail, delivering a compelling merchandising message to the customer, transforming the shopping experience into a sense of discovery and excitement. I believe that to be a successful thoughtful leader, one must encourage a creative mindset and a collaborative environment while fostering a team centric culture. The Retail landscape continues to evolve and change and an organization must be thoughtful, innovative and have a diversity of thought leading to diversity of actions in order to compete, be impactful and survive in the Global Marketplace. My next role would allow me to use the totality of my experience, encourage teamwork, creative, thoughtful thinking and the ability to act boldy to ensure an organization\'s longevity and success.
