Apparel brand builder with focus on sales, merchandising, product development and marketing who easily moves from vision and strategy to hands-on implementation.
ABOUT ME
I began my career in men’s apparel fashion working on the sales floor of a high end men's specialty store in Seattle WA. In a short time I became manager of that store and my love affair with the apparel industry began. I feel fortunate to have been in leadership positions in both wholesale and retail over the past 30 years that have allowed me to experience and affect the industry from “both sides of the table”.
My vast experience working in complex and ambiguous situations give me a unique perspective to build successful teams and drive overall goals.
