After more than twenty years combining my natural creative mindset with business acumen, I have developed an industry wide insight unlike most. For two-decades I ran one of the largest grey market suppliers as a vendor for Costco, globally, SAMS club, BJs, and other well-known off-price retailers. I know exactly how premium products leave authorized channels, and exactly what documentation disappears when it does.
My expertise, successfully shaping apparel and footwear strategies, built global retail partnerships, developed private label programs for department stores and off-price giants, launched new clothing brands and reshaped brands in danger.
I have executed indirect-direct deals between today's most recognized brands, and I have pioneered innovative platforms and digital tv networks, including The Fashion TV Network, FBTV.
Today, I support name brands in tracking, locating and unwrapping how their products are being offered through the same deep grey market and off-price sectors, I once supplied, supporting the industry I love.
Drawing from my unparalleled experiences, I write a weekly column, Wear on Wednesday (W.O.W.) providing a provocative and punchy take on the industry that week for readers who love fashion.
I also provide an analytical voice to major publications and news outlets, and my intelligence briefs are published on Worldwide Fashion Network(WWFN) weekly.
