About Tobi Blatt

I am a passionate, dynamic and motivated executive leader in retail management with extensive experience in the luxury fashion sector. I thrive in fast-paced environments and seek to leverage my strategic leadership skills in an executive or management role. I have consistently led high-performing sales teams to exceed sales targets annually, by utilizing effective merchandising techniques and targeted promotions. My data driven approach involves in-depth analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs)and metrics.With solid financial acumen, I am skilled in leadership, sales, buying, visual merchandising and customer relationship management to ensure an exceptional customer experience. Through the implementation of strategic initiatives, I have achieved over 20% annual sales growth, resulting in over $5M in sales in a 12month period-fueled by strong relationships with loyal and referral customers, as well as my VIP and celebrity clientele. I prioritize customer satisfaction through effective communication and teamwork.My background includes senior management roles with a strong entrepreneurial focus, highlighted by the successful founding, creative development and operation of TB Fashionopoly Inc./Tobi Blatt, a luxury designer specialty store chain in San Diego, CA. Tobi Blatt is known for its curated offerings of women and men’s luxury apparel, shoes, beauty and gifts, as well as consulting and wardrobe styling services. With over 30 years of existence,(and now under new ownership) Tobi Blatt continues to be a favorite shopping destination today. As a collaborative and experienced leader in the fashion industry, the foundation of my retail experience taught me the art of customer experience, and appreciation, which has enabled me to build and maintain valuable, long-term relationships. I am excited about the prospect of joining a talented corporate team and am open to relocation. I bring a passion for retail management, buying, and merchandising with an overall love for the fashion industry, and a commitment to customer satisfaction that aligns with the values of innovation. I look forward to contributing to a supportive environment that drives success.
