Summary
With 17 years of experience in the textile industry, I have cultivated a deep passion for the fashion sector. My journey began as a business analyst and client account holder for industry leaders such as Sting, Jack & Jones, Topman, Bytom, and Vistula. Managing accounts for brands like Levi's and New Era enhanced my comprehensive understanding of men's retail fashion.
Elevated to Showroom Manager, I oversaw the promotion and management of all samples produced by CMT. This role included managing a substantial stock of over 150,000 pieces and leading a team of 15 merchandisers. These experiences have significantly enriched my career trajectory, equipping me with invaluable insights into operational management and strategic leadership within the fashion industry.
