ABOUT ME

I am a commercial consultant with over 25 years' experience helping luxury fashion, resort and wellness brands grow through strategic partnerships, wholesale expansion and hospitality retail.

My career spans luxury and contemporary fashion across the following categories Women's, Men's, Resort, Swim and Accessories. I have worked with globally recognised brands including Burberry, Stine Goya, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Ancient Greek Sandals and LemLem.

Today, I specialise in the intersection of luxury fashion, wellness and hospitality—bringing together deep industry expertise with an established international network of luxury hotels, resorts, retailers and brand partners. This unique combination enables me to help both hospitality businesses elevate their retail offering and brands expand into premium travel and wellness destinations.

 

Throughout my wholesale career, I have built long-standing relationships with leading department stores, independent luxury retailers and international buying teams across Europe, North America, the Caribbean and the Middle East. My experience combines commercial strategy with hands-on execution, from market entry and business development through to partnership negotiation and retail activation.

My specialist knowledge of the Resort and Swimwear market has enabled me to develop an extensive network of luxury hotel groups and destination resorts, creating opportunities for brands to access high-value hospitality retail channels while helping hotels curate exceptional guest retail experiences.
