I have 25 years of supplychain, Retail & Business development experience in France and internationally in the fashion industry with significant expertise in corporate leadership, strategic business development and growth management. Dynamic and results-oriented, enhance customer experience, and deliver business outcomes. “the right product - in the right place - at the right time, right price, right quantity”. This formula has always inspired my work in the Fashion Industry. It is simple and full of common sense. However, it has always been a challenge to satisfy a hyper-connected customer looking for a positive experience with brands with values. The “good product”/ “good service” is the starting point, but anyone needs to understand that with any commercial success, comes a great supply chain. Fashion leaders have already integrated these parameters into their strategy.
